Left Queens Head shortly after 8am to arrive at the queue for Frankton
locks at 9.30. There are only bollards for two boats there, so we had fun
trying to moor with the wind blowing us off the shallow edge. There was
only one boat coming down today so we seemed to make it through quickly,
and were out before noon.
Stopped at the Jack Mytton Inn at Hindford for a quick, one pint, lunch so
that we stood a chance of making it to Llangollen for the evening.
The only slight delay we had was at Chirk tunnel where there were two boats
in front of waiting to go through. We did not have to pass any boats at the
one way sections near Llangollen and we arrived at about 7.30.
The Corn Mill said that they were fully booked, so as with the usual
problem in towns of deciding where to eat we went to the chippy. Drank in
the three GBG pubs, the Sun, the Wynstay Hotel and the Corn Mill.
