Passed Moored boats again

We leave last nights quite mooring it's sunny but a bit chilly,, we then stop to take on some water, and off we set again open countryside which turns into a thickly wooded stretch as it passes Claverton with its village, Manor House and it's pumping station which pumps water from the Avon to the canal.

Now a side cutting takes the canal towards Dundas Aqueduct, with its junction for the Somerset Coal Canal.

The Aqueduct crosses over the valley with its main railway line set below, and the pass the village of Limpy Stoke which is scattered over the valleys side, the navigation runs through thick woods clinging to steep banks until the countryside opens on its approach tomAvoncliff Aqueduct, here we squeeze pass another boat, but unfortunlay one of my fender holder fittings hit the side of the canal and comes off, lost in the still water of the canal.

Then we are on the approach to Bradford upon Avon, where we stop and moor up for the day and sit and w arch the energetic runners, cyclist and dog walkers go by while we sit and soak up the sun.

We are contacted by text by the couple who we shared the Caen hill locks with a few ago asking if we want to meet and share the locks again as we go up on Thursday, which we readily  agreed with, anything to make life easier
