Bath

Tuesday 1st July we arrived in Bradford on Avon, after stopping at Hipperton for fuel, only 80p per litre,and how strange we had used the exact amount of fuel as we put in at Lower Heyford on The Oxford, 108.65 litres 
Got good moorings again, our own little wooden platform! Lots more hire boats about now so it seems CRT have accomadated for this.
Lovely town but the traffic is awful. Just to get over the bridge into the The Canal Pub was risky. But we made it!


 Wednesday spent the morning in town on a wander. Had my hair cut, nice guy went to Roehampton Uni, same as Kate so plenty to chat about. Then hit Sainsbugs in the afternoon and decided to try the Indian in the eve. Have not had a curry in ages and Heather and Mick joined us as they had received an offer on their old boat which has been up for sale for a while,so a good excuse to celebrate.


Thursday 3rd July moved on first thing, Elly you would be impressed away by 8.30!
Went through some beautiful countryside,at one point we thought we where going down hill! Pulled a boat out from the side bank he had got totally stuck,only picked up the boat 2 days ago. Stopped at Dundas Aquaduct for water just lovely there.




Passed nb Moriarty at Bathampton,but no one in, left a text. Moored up on again fab moorings over looking Bath at Sydney Gardens. Just finished lunch and Cathy &  Martin appeared from nb Moriarty. Lovely to catch up, they had come down the G U to London and along The Thames,onto the K & A at Reading. In typical boaters style always ends up talking electrics!



Walked into town through park and Museum,only 15 mins or so.

 Piece of Artwork to challenge Baz!


 Had a wander,brought 2 Portmereon dinner plates in TKMax, such a random shop!
