Well another week has gone by and we are now at Devises.  On the way we have visited Hungerford, Great Bedwyn and Crofton, where there is an old beam engine that used to pump the water up to the summit,( it still does at certain times of the year,) and Pewsey. We travelled through some very rural parts of Wiltshire, some of which we were very glad that we didn’t meet another boat it was sooo narrow!  We have now completed just over half of the locks from Reading to Bristol.  We have been enjoying the lovely sunshine, but at the moment there are signs of rain!  Ah well it was good while it lasted.  In front of us now are 29 locks in 4 miles, which include the Caen Hill Flight.  We walked down yesterday to have a look and the view down over is amazing.  Think coffee is called for before we start.
