Dundas Aqueduct



Map reference  ST 78562  62501
      
Distance 3.2 miles

Total 210 Locks 7 Tunnels

Running total mileage 194.1

Well during our week’s mooring at Avoncliff we left the boat to complete our Cotswold Way walk from Chipping Campden to Bath. This last section was from Stroud to Bath which we completed at a, fairly leisurely pace, in 6 days. For the time of year the weather held up reasonably well (better than the first half of the walk in March in which it snowed and was generally pretty dire. The Cotswold way is a fairly challenging 102 mile National Trail but has some pretty good scenery en route (when it isn’t snowing or rainng!!).
We are now back onto the boat moored at Dundas Aqueduct and slowly making our way towards Bath although watching the weather forecasts carefully since a severe storm is forecasted for next week and I’d rather be on a Canal when it hits than on the River Avon which could cause us problems if it goes into flood.
