So here we are after a winter on and around the Bath/Bradford on Avon section of the good old Kennet and Avon Canal, tomorrow we leave Bath for the last time and head east back towards Reading and London. The ‘red’ boards on the Thames are starting to come down and hopefully the same will start to happen with the river Kennet which still remains in flood but it will be a couple of weeks or so before we reach there so that gives it some time for the flood to reduce.

Spent the last visit to Bath sightseeing the places we have so far missed, the Roman baths and William Herschel’s house, so now we can say that we have well and truly ‘done’ Bath.  Now looking forward to seeing some more of the canal system.
