Kennet and Avon CanalBy Bron MarieMay 26, 2014Leave a comment

We finally left Newbury on 14th May with fine weather, lower river levels and excitement about finally being “on the cut”!! It felt good to be on the move again and making progress. Our destination was Theale so that we could find a spot to leave our boat in the very capable hands of Chris…

Side TripsBy Bron MarieMay 26, 20142 Comments

Other than short trips to London to take care of personal business, we had always planned a few side trips to take advantage of our close proximity to Europe and the rest of the UK. Our first of these had been planned since well before we left Australia. A trip to Venice, Italy to celebrate…

Pewsey to Hungerford (15/4/14)

Kennet and Avon CanalBy Bron MarieApril 15, 20142 Comments

Walking along the towpath after the rain was almost impossible. Bob decided to take a walk to have a look at the village of Pewsey but after sliding around and growing taller by about 3 inches of mud, Bron spat the dummy and retreated to the comfort of the boat and left him to it.…

We got to stay in Bath a few more days waiting for our new UK bank account debit cards to arrive. After checking on Thursday with no success we decided to move and refill our water in case we had to wait until Monday. But after lots of rain and a bit of procrastination we…

Kennet and Avon CanalBy Bron MarieMarch 25, 20142 Comments

We arrived in beautiful Bath Thursday 20th March. This breathtaking city is perched on the sides of the valley through which the Avon river – and the western end of the Kennet and Avon – flows. But first – the journey to here!!! We left our mooring at Whaddon Lane Bridge in good time and…

After conquering locks 50 down to 29 we still had 7 to get through before officially finishing the 29 lock flight. By comparison this stretch was easy and we met a lovely couple – Bill and Linda – from Canada who helped us with the last few and then came on a ride down to…

We left Devizes Marina on Saturday with much enthusiasm and some trepidation to begin the journey we had been planning for so many years. With a little (lot of) help from Chris we made our way out of the marina and into the canal and progressed the couple of miles to the Devizes wharf where…
