Taking a boat down Caen Hill Locks
We had the opportunity today to help take a boat down the Caen Hill flight of locks on the Kennet and Avon canal, between us and Devizes. And to catch up too with our old friends Aouali and Roddy and their family. Some pictures of the boat and the surrounds. Enjoy, click on any image to see it larger. The locks were lighter to work that I expected - I don't know why I thought they might be heavy just because there were so many, and there were Gongooxzlers all the way down. How great for the businesses around; tea room doing a roaring trade, and plenty of people out. Yet we were the only boat moving. There's an irony here - you don't need many boats moving on a naviagable canal to make it a big success for its area!.              Thank you, Roddy, Aouali, and Narrow Boat Limoni(written 2011-10-15) Associated topics are indexed under Z521 - Navigable waterways - Canals, Rivers and Sea[3483] Canals, watererways in the Melksham area - (2011-10-16) [3345] Cruising - (2011-07-04) [3282] The future of canal management and charities - Kennet and Avon Canal bias - (2011-05-08) [3266] Easter on the Canal - near Melksham, Wiltshire - (2011-04-26) [3183] Redevelopment on the banks of the Avon in Melksham - (2011-02-25) [3157] A new monopoly on the ferry to Northern Ireland - (2011-02-04) [3023] Autumn walk from Bowerhill - (2010-10-31) [2950] Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, turns first sod in Melksham Link Canal - (2010-09-09) [2807] Canal through Melksham - the options and issues - (2010-06-13) [2796] Sunday - waiting for the ferry. - (2010-06-06) [2730] Bird Watching on the Melksham Avon - (2010-04-18) [2588] Freddies Wood and the K and A Canal - (2010-01-17) [1986] Walk to Bowerhill - (2009-01-10) [1657] Farewell, Newcastle to Stavanger, Haugsund and Bergen - (2008-05-29) [820] Robert and William Whitworth - (2006-08-01) [793] The Wilts and Berks Canal - (2006-07-05) [776] Naming Rooms - (2006-06-24) [708] Linescapes of Mull - (2006-05-03) [598] Should we cruise around the world? - (2006-02-09) M205 - Well House Manor - Kennet District [3382] What is the picture? - (2011-08-08) [3376] Kennet and Avon - Walk from Bedwyn to Pewsey.
