Well done all those who supported the "Pontcysyllte Aqueduct for World Heritage" campaign. It may not be a "done deal" so it needs our continued support. Wish I could remember the number of times I've walked, and biked, across it after midnight, that's what came from keeping company with a girl from Froncysyllte. Happy days! Thanks again and keep it up folks, your support is still needed! Wil.
