view from my bike on former railway line, now cycle route, between Connah's Quay and Chester
Shadow's engine is being worked on, delaying the start of what should have been a week's cruise. Over the last year or so it has been susceptible to overheating; a few months ago the head gasket was replaced but incorrectly. This seems to have obstructed oilways, such that now the camshaft is worn. So now a new camshaft is being fitted, and we're staying with a friend who lives conveniently near Chester (the boat is at Tattenhall).
Today we might go into the city, in the drizzle. Yesterday I cycled along a former railway line to Northgate Locks, and saw Towy at Tower Wharf.
Towy is a Fellows, Morton and Clayton tanker built in 1938. It sports a banner advertising two shares for sale, but the website appears to be down at the moment.
