After a nice lunch in Llangollen on Tuesday afternoon we had a stroll around the town. I heard a train pulling in at the station so popped down there for a look, the engine was just running round its train.

We took a stroll on the river, joining others with a cooling paddle in the river Dee. Quite a lot of folk about.

Off for a paddle. |
The day was now very hot, so an ice cream was needed then a look around some of the shops, after the usual crafty and gift shops a few foodie goodies where bought for tea, cream cakes, Welsh cakes, and some very nice meat from the butchers.
Leaving the girls at the boat Stephen and I took a walk up to Horseshoe Falls along the feeder canal.
The water was crystal clear, with wavy weeds and plenty of fish about.

Lovely cottage next to Feeder Canal. |
We called in at the Chain Bridge Hotel for a drink, the Chain Bridge has seen better days.

At Horseshoe falls the locals where having a splash about, clambering over the weir and surfing down the slippery channels.

Walking back we spotted a nice Triumph Vitesse near the motor museum, and nearer town a house on the hillside with a great veranda.

When we got back to the basin, dinner was not ready, and the 2 girls where b---y paddling in the shower to cool down their hot feet, and all they had done was walk round town before Stephen and I had walked to the falls.

After a late dinner, it was feet up time with a couple of ciders, and chatting to other neighbouring boats before turning in.
