Even a shorter hop

We left our mooring this morning a grey chilly one, but later on it improves to a lovely sunny day, the canal is wooded on one side but open countryside on the other. We cross Avon aqueduct over the railway line set in a deep valley.


The canal since Bradford upon Avon has been a long line of moored boat, We have read that they have a problem with so many boaters just moving a few yards, some of the boats you wonder how they have a Liscence!!!



Anyway we pass on tick over pass all of these continuous moorers, and it not long till we arrive at Dundas Wharf, here we take on some water, and we decide to moor here tonight and tomorrow night as Denise's sister Val is going to pay us a visit from Poole.

So I paint the Gunwales (the bottom sides of the boat) while Denise gives the inside a clean, then after lunch we go for a little walk. 

An off shoot from this part of the canal is the Somersetshire Coal canal, opened in 1805 this narrow canal was sponsored by Somerset Coal
