We stayed in Lechlade until Monday 30th September as the forecast for Sunday (29th) was pretty grim. We had a long journey on Monday; the first part of the river was almost as challenging as going upstream – the steering is interesting (!) as you are carried along by […]
We decided to move on Sunday 8th Sept from our mooring at Beale Park as Tony had found an even nicer spot further up on the boundary of the Park. There was also a charity walk taking place and the route would’ve been right alongside the boat […]
I can’t believe it is nearly a month since my last update – I really must do better, but the days are going so quickly! So, to catch up……. We stayed in Kintbury to have our back cover fitted as we couldn’t get a reply from the […]
We had a lovely day on Sunday 28th July, thanks to Mike and Emma! It was lovely to see all the family. Rhys and Ash came back with us to the boat and we had three lovely days with them. On Monday 29th, we went down the […]
We were randomly and inexplicably woken at 5.13 on Sunday morning (14th July) by our horn blaring out! Tony shot out of bed and said “WTF is that?” (The horn is right above our heads). He dashed to the back of the boat, hurdling Sal […]
We had a lovely couple of days in Bath, walked all round the city with Sal (she was a star – she doesn’t like lots of traffic or people but she’s getting more confident all the time and did really well!). We found back roads and footpaths so that […]
We spent four days on our lovely mooring spot just outside Hilperton/Trowbridge, then we moved to Bradford on Avon and found another lovely spot; stayed there for two days. Bradford on Avon is a very picturesque town with lovely riverside walks. (River Avon and the […]
We moved on Saturday 15th, to the top of Caen Hill flight. The weather wasn’t brilliant so we stopped after 5 locks on the 24hr moorings at the top of the flight instead of carrying on and doing the main 16 locks of the flight […]
After a couple of days moored at All Cannings, we moved on Wednesday 5th June to a 48hr mooring just by the Bridge Inn at Horton. We didn’t frequent the pub as the landlord is known for not being very friendly towards boaters so we decided not to spend […]
We had a lovely day on Saturday (25th May), we visited the Crofton Pumping Station, which was fully operational for the Bank Holiday weekend. Very interesting to see how it was done when the canal was built. We then went for a lovely walk to […]
