The 1970 Llangollen Trip

Page published 20 Decmber 2008

Canals were not forgotten and in 1970, Mike and I, Mike's girlfriend Mary, now wife, and a couple of friends hired a narrowboat. Again it was a trip up the Llangollen. This time the towpath across the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct was in far better condition, but as ever, the subject of the toilet arrangements were high in the minds of boaters.
