Tonight  finds us at All Cannings bridge about 5 miles from Devizes after a pleasant couple of days cruising through the ‘alternative’ culture surrounding Pewsey. Sunday lunch was taken at the ‘French Horn’ public house at Pewsey Wharf and was thoroughly enjoyed along with a couple of pints of ‘Farmer’s Glory’, an excellent Wadworths beer. From Pewsey we set off in the fog towards Honey Street where we stopped for lunch and finally had to replace the gas cylinder that had lasted for the 2 months since we set out on our voyage.

The intention today had been to reach Devizes but as time got on and we were travelling through such pleasant scenery overlooking the Alton Barnes white horse we decided to stop awhile at All Cannings bridge. Tomorrow we press on to Devizes where we hope to stay for a couple of days to allow visit to Avebury rings.
