What a lovely day we have had today, and not just because of the sunshine. This morning we had a trip on the steam train to Carrog and back, ploughman's lunch at the Wharf, then we said goodbye to Llangollen and set off back down the canal, now moored at Froncysyllte.

One or two pics look rather like Hadarford!
I doubt it Mike, different track gauge, Hadarford is narrow gauge 2' 3" Llangollen railway is standard 4' 8" gauge
