William, 
Nice shot - this is one of the same aqueduct, with a very different feel and
yes it is one heck of a walk.

Graham,

Thanks! "I'd rather be lucky than good". :-)

At least I was on the path side of the boat during dinner,
but Andy Barton who lives not too far from there confirms
that walking across that thing is truly frightening, gale blowing or not.
That handrail is not very high either. Fortunately, the crew of our very
narrow and very long boat did not bump the side even once. Quite a task but
I expect they have had a lot of practice. Being in Wales, it had been
storming there half an hour before, but it blew over by the time we reached
the aqueduct.
