Total 209 Locks 7 Tunnels

Running total mileage 184.8

Today has been just a short hop because of inclement weather, and the fact that I wanted to watch the Japanese Grand Prix on I-Player. The distance is just over 2 miles but with 4 Locks it took over an hour to get here in miserable rain which started almost as soon as we set of from Seend wharf. We are now at Semington  which according to my canal map is where the Wilts and Berks canal currently under restoration will join with the Kennet and Avon, hope that I’m still on the Canal system when that happens for the opportunity to explore another section of canal.

Tomorrow, weather permitting, it should be onto either Hilperton, near to Ttowbridge or possibly Bradford on Avon, even if raining it will involve a move somewhere since the morrings that we are currently on have a 24 hour limit.
