To Day 19 Thursday 130 miles, 107 locks , 16 swing bridges and now only 4 cappuccinos- latest being Crofton pumping station and The Totti Pole by Hungerford bridge which is a boatman's heavon as you can also purchase BW pump out cards.
No 3g signal since leaving Kintbury so only a few pictures and words. We are at Pewsey Wharf and our first rain since starting our cruise- cannot be bad. The canal continues to get better and better although mooring can be a problem but you can usually get the bow in close enough to get on and off without too much difficulty.
We fed three visitors Monday night at Great Bedwyn- Dee and Mike (Debs family) and Simon.
Bill and Clare have been with us for the last few days which has been very good to have some extra people to help through the locks. They also provided a taxi service to the Co-Op in Pewsey which would have been a very hard walk back to the boat. Our own Rosie and Jim arrive next Tuesday to help us down the Caen Hill flight of 29 locks. We saw the locks in the early 1970's derelict so it will be good to go down one of the wonders of the UK canal system.
Had to have this picture of the shop near Hungerford bridge- need I say more.
Spyed this lovely little wooden craft as we neared Pewsey Wharf- called the Urchin.
