Wednesday 10th July 2024
Having spent a quiet night just around the corner from our hire base, this morning Graham set us off at 9am and we went under the bridge and past the base. The weather all day ahs been a cold wind plus alternating sunshine and fine drizzle, although we never got really wet.
we cruised down past Govilon and Llanfoist until we reached Pontymoile which was Graham’s target for tonight. The countryside and canal have been so varied; different agriculture and now, different trees and plants – both on land and aquatic.
We spotted three different Kingfishers between Mamhilad and Pontymoile. A couple in an inflatable canoe told us that we would see Llamas, but we didn’t spot them.
The canal became shallower and weedier as we approached tonight’s target stop so our entry was not dignified. Having moored on the visitor mooring we decided that it was too noisy with a busy main road passing over a bridge very close by so we untied and made our way further South to moor outside the Open Hearth public house, a much quieter location as well as a suitable dining establishment for tonight.
Both the beer and the food were excellent and we even treated ourselves to a dessert as well.
