A long day!
A long day today! I am now of the firm opinion that the K&A is a 'been there, done it' type of canal - sorry if that offends any K&A groupies! It is immensly hard work with nothing more than 15 minutes cruising at any one time before a big heavy old double lock with fierce gate paddles or an even heavier manual swing bridge! Personaly I like a bit more cruising in between the obstacles!

A short stop at Reading Marine for diesel and water as well as a formal thank you to Andy Edwards for the work he did 4 years ago on Khayamanzi and then off for more locks and swing bridges. .JPG)
Passed through Newbury negotiating all the boats in there for the boat festival tomorrow and then on to yet more locks and swing bridges!

Finally moored at about 8.30pm at Kintbury. An extremely dodgy internet signal this evening so the pictures too ages to upload- my crew member working hard!.JPG)
....and this evenings mooring.

It shall be fun to follow your travels on the Kennet & Avon. A pity we did not have the possibility for a chat when we met you in the Country Lock in Reading.

It was great to pass you too. Shame it was just passing! All the best.
