Hi, Your comments are always most welcome
Hi Sue,
Your piccies look familiar: friends and I did that trip in the late spring this year (before all the rain started!). Fortunately we spotted the notice about fenders! (No tributes there then though, must be fairly recent, I wonder what happened?)
I just had a quick (but good)pint at Wrenbury, not even going inside myself, so can't advise you on that, but the "Willeymoor Lock Teapot Museum" hosted us for a very enjoyable evening, as did the Horse & Jockey at GB.
You'll just love 
the turn from Trevor basin into the the last "navigable feeder" section, hope the horn's working!
Have fun and good luck
Hiya Sue,Vic and Lucy
Enjoying your blog as always.
RE the floral tributes it seems to be for this poor chap.
--------------------------------------
A MAJOR search operation was called off at the weekend after the discovery of a man’s body on a canal boat at a popular tourist attraction.
The man, who was reported missing on Thursday, was discovered by a member of the public on a narrow- boat on the Llangollen Canal at Marbury Locks, near Nantwich, on Sunday afternoon.

Hi Sue
These floral tributes were there when we passed on the 1st Sept. We were on our way when we passed you at Grubb St Cuttings took us 3 weeks from Barton Marina to LLangollen basin and back via 4 counties ring Brilliant it was to and we had good weather. Enjoy your trip the aquaduct is quite breathtaking

I've been looking forward to seeing you do this canal and looking at your photos as my family of 4 and our friend's family of 5 explored this are a couple of years ago and loved it. Make the most of it, hope you have good weather. The views are fantastic!!
As always, enjoyed reading your adventures.
Hi Sue
Wait until you come out of the Llangollen and try turning if the wind's blowing. I took me half an hour to turn left with the aid of one crew pushing the front from the opposite tow path and a pole. Luckily nothing was coming up from Nantwich at the time as we were blocking it totally!
Hi Sue, Vic & Lucy!
Have been avidly following your excellent blog for several years now from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. My wife and I are in England this month for holiday. We did a ten-day walk through the Cotswolds and are now visiting relatives in Oswestry, Shropshire. We were thrilled to find No Problem at Grindley Brook yesterday but were disappointed that 'no one was home'. Took pictures of me beside your beautiful boat to 'boast' to other No Problem readers at home. Enjoy the canal, we did in 2004 -- it really is beautiful!
Oh Denis and Linda!.. Oh dear oh dear oh dear...
We had gone to Stafford for the day! What a shame, we would have absolutely loved to have met you and showed you around our boat, and of course, a cuppa!
Well we are still in the area, maybe you are too.. we will be in Ellesmere on Friday and Chirk around the weekend.. we do hope you will return.
Sue
Roy.. Oh please don't say that!.. Jeeez such a big boat to handle in the wind this is!.. Nah not really, all fun.. it's just a matter of doing everything at a snails pace and shoving and pushing.. for sure Roy if I get that stuck in the wind, I will moor up and stay there till the wind gives over!
Paul, Glad you are enjoying the blog, thanks for your nice comment
Jane, Well hopefully I will put a lot of pics on, the family love them all. Enjoy..
Maureen and Keith,
Yes, I did check with the reports Keith, and this particular lock was not near where that report said the guy was found.. Maureen you confirm that by saying that you saw the tributes on 1sty Sept which was before the other guy was found in the canal.. whatever.. tis a shame whatever happened.
Martin,
Your "You will enjoy the turn at Trevor" sounds a bit omminuous!
I think we will be spending more time on the way back to stop at places we find.. well that is the plan anyway!
Sue
Hi Sue,
Pleased you got my link to work. The turn at Trevor is a doddle compared to the "narrows" and one way working that follow up to Llangollen!!! Take it easy and it will be a breeze! BTW have you noticed on the Llangollen a couple of places where you are sure the the canal appears to run "downhill". It must be an optical illussion.
John and Anne
Sue,
that being so then I recommend you to The Bridge Inn at Chirk bank. You see it below on the left as you come back across Chirk aqueduct. Fine ales and simple food on my several visits. There is a good mooring by there. Known locally as 'poachers', don't confuse it with The Poachers Pocket a little further downstream - that's a chain pub and bleah. If you do call in I hope it's your kind of thing.
John & Anne,
I think you mean "uphill" Yes, I know what you mean.
Hi folks - lovely pictures of my second favourite canal - my favourite is the shropshire union because the scenery is breathtaking.
Anyway ramble ramble I am moored in Swanley Marina on the Llangollen the floral tributes were for a chap who used to moor on the offside of the canal he was in his 50's and had a jack russell. Unfortunately he passed away and was not found for approximately 2 days when his employer realised something must be wrong. He was well known around the area but unfortunately I am still new and didn't have the pleasure.
Your trip looked wonderful and you seem to have encountered all the ups and down we all have on the Llangollen! - I managed to lose my fender in Hurleston rather than getting stuck though!
I wish you many more wonderful trips -I am not as an experienced boater as you being only 23 but my dad had me driving my first narrowboat when I was 4 and I never looked back! (I got the bug)
Sandra
