Wales

After leaving the Broads we travelled west to the north of Wales to stay with a very good friend of Graham's from way back. Pam and Keith looked after us very well, and took us to see some beautiful sights and pubs in their neighbourhood.


Some of the scenery was very similar to parts of New Zealand, with trees, rolling hills, and rivers that could have been in Southland.


Chris B, there were several narrow boats tied up near this aquaduct, but unfortunately we didn't see any go across while we were there.


We met up with Pam's son Jason and family and had a very enjoyable lunch with them at a pub that was established in 1462!

    Ah the "Ponty Squilty" aqueduct, as we always used to refer to it. Have been over it several times by narrow boat, and it is quite breathtaking. Amazing that it is over 200 years old, and still survives today in pretty much its original form of brick built tower supporting a steel trough. From memory I think it was built by Brunel, which gives you an incredible sense of history whenever you chug across it. More envy!!!
