Canal Cruise Llangollen 20th Sept 2008

A canal cruise from Trevor ...Near Llangollen and a social event in the Hand Inn at Llangollen.
Most participants stayed two nights at the Hand but yours truly stayed a little closer to nature in Gods country by camping in the Shadow of the monastic ruins within the grounds of Abbey Farm.
Someone must have been smiling on us again as we had a terrific weekend weatherwise!
