Thursday 10 July 2014


We have spent a relaxing week and a bit since I last wrote.  Not many locks and just a couple of swing bridges.  We spent a couple of days at Bradford on Avon, a very pretty little town.  We have been cruising with 2 other boats, Yes Dear and Eleanor.  Not moving together but generally ending up at the same place most evenings.  We first met Andie and Geoff from Eleanor last year when we did the Birmingham Cruise.  Then again when we came out on to the Thames they were part of the group we were with.  Jan and Dave from Yes Dear we have just got to know over the last few weeks.  Then about a week ago we met up with Maureen and Peter on Grey Hare who we hadn’t seen since 2012!  So there has been a bit of socialising going on!  We have been over Avoncliff and Dundas Aquaducts.  Spend a very pleasant Sunday afternoon at Dundas sat in the sun watching the hire boaters negotiate a sharp right angle bend.  We are now at Bath.  Arrived here yesterday afternoon, will probably stay tonight and move on the last bit into Bristol tomorrow.  Ahead of us is a flight of 6 locks which will take us down on to the River Avon.  One of them being the second deepest lock on the system.
