Hail to the Hive!
Well It has been amazing. Our expectations of the area, the aqueducts and the canals here have all been exceeded. Such an amazing place.
Waking up here, on the boat, surrounded by this beauty has been special.
And the Aqueducts, the reason we came, did not disappoint!
My fear of heights was well and truly tested as we made our way over the Pontcysyllte aqueduct many times in badger the narrowboat.
I can't lie as I did feel exposed and vulnerable as we crossed over the valley nd over the river Dee in Badger on what looks like the thinnest sliver of water in an elongated iron trough.
But I managed to settle my nerves ( the sneaky beer did help) and get us across on multiple occasions without incident.
With the passengers smiling and hopefully not just out of relief from being alive after the crossing.
No they are genuine smiles of glee.
So I'll drink to that!
