We have only travelled 1 mile in the last two days- that should adjust our average per day-and make up for the long days during our sprint down the Thames the other week.
We are still in Devizes but we have gone into the local marina for a few days to chill out and charge up all the electrical bits on mains power and do a few jobs between showers. We all take electricity for granted and its only a luxury when you have to keep an eye on the battery bank monitor which tells you how much energy you have left available and how long it will last at your current usage. We are waiting for our real life Rosie and Jim who arrive tomorrow, Tuesday, for our trip down the Caen Hill flight. Hopefully the weather will be a little better. We have had heavy showers with sunny periods over the last two days with a cold wind.
A view down the main section of 16 locks to whet the appetite for tomorrow.
Devizes is a lovely town with all the essentials. Today they held a May Day fair in the Market Square organised by the local Lions Club.
