Photos as we go towards Thatcham

Sunday 6 June 2010

Some images of the journey from Devizes back towards the Thames. They reflect the great mixture of things on this canal which is well worth the struggle to get on it and to come to terms with it.

This female mallard befriended me at Kintbury and sat in the shade of my chair for about half an hour.



We went for a walk across Hungerford Marsh and then along the River Kennet.


Another boat name not sure about the licence though!

The lovely Somerset Hospital and almshouses near the canal at Froxfield.


BB moored next to Crofton Pumping Station which was in steam over the Bank Holiday weekend.


Anne and Janet on the old Roman road above Crofton.


The local fisherman know how to live when fishing.



Our mooring at All Cannings with the Vale of Pewsey in the back ground it was very hot.



A nice Dutch barge that came past when we were moored at Bishops Cannings.

Our mooring at Bishops Cannings which was very rural.



Nb Beverley a good name- those who know RAF aircraft will appreciate it.
