Well travelling back up the River Avon wasn’t too bad, the
river flow didn’t slow us down as much as I’d expected, in fact we got from Netham
Lock to Hanham Lock in pretty much the same time as we did coming the other
way. Travelling against the current does give a lot more control to the process
however. Our stay in Bristol was OK but, for what it was, it was quite
expensive considering we had a week on the Thames earlier in the year for just
over £60 and yet we only get 2 days in Bristol for £44.
When we get back to Bath I’d like to take the opportunity to
get a photo of Pulteney Weir from river level before we go back into the Kennet
and Avon Canal proper. If I manage it the photo will appear in the next blog.
