Ellesmere to Nr Welsh Frankton - 5.5 miles, 3 hours

Well we survived the storm, we were luck and really only had heavy rain.

We set off at just after 8:30, with a bit if rain, which stayed with us for just over an hour.

This is a really pretty stretch of canal with no locks or lift bridges.

We passed the junction of the Montgomery canal, which is undergoing significant restoration.

If the weather is still holding we may take a trip down the Montgomery on the way back.

The sun came out and we could see the Welsh hills in the distance.

We have moored in another quiet secluded place.  However, there are a lot of people in a hurry this week...........guessing it is because it is half term, I have had to get my stroppy head on and moan at a couple of them as they are not slowing down passed moored boats.........very bad etiquette!!!!!!!

We had the scotch egg last night, not as good as we remember, but the Pork Pie was excellent and the pork and black pudding sausages were fab........we bought some more today :-))
