Bucket Hats and Wobbly Legs

Fun fact: the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct in Wales is the tallest navigable aqueduct in the UK, soaring 126 feet (38m) above the River Dee, and stretching a leg-wobbling 1,007 feet (307m) across the valley on 19 skinny stone arches. Sounds like a relaxing stroll, right?

Well… Leo wasn’t so sure.

You can walk it, paddle it by canoe, or float across in a longboat—but Leo opted for the “if I can’t see it, it’s not scary” approach and yanked his bucket hat down over his eyes like a medieval visor. To be fair, I don’t blame him—it’s basically sky-walking with a handrail.

Still, he was brave, put his head down, and made it all the way across AND BACK with only minimal whimpering (mostly from me). A proper adventurer!
