Vintage narrow boats Bascote and Gosport on the Llangollen Canal, 29th May 2012.

Bascote and Gosport joined what amounted to a vintage rally from Llangollen Basin to Froncysyllte for the Olympic Torch Relay. Weather was fine, unlike the following morning when the torch came through, but traffic was quite heavy, with some holiday helmsmen not used to meeting tugs and butties (lighters), which need a bit more room to manoeuvre. One cruiser, failing to slow for a narrow bend, rammed Bascote almost head on, creating a jam that took a minute or two at full astern and some hard rope work to resolve.
The rest of the trip was fortunately uneventful.
