This was in two parts. In Part the First we got as far as Burghfield, Reading, before we had to stop as it was too dangerous to continue. The deciding factor was when we white-water rafted the boat through Burghfield Bridge. We returned to Newbury in snow, sleet and hail. In Part the second we went in the other direction and got as far as Devizes in a snowstorm before returning.

This was an attempt to reach Bristol, but when we were on the Avon the river rose 10 inches in an evening and, with more to come, we abandoned the plan. On the way back we were stopped at Caen Hill, cast adrift at Devizes, and stopped twice more before we got back to Newbury!

Highlight for Album: Crick Transit (Gloria!)
Album: Crick Transit (Gloria!) Download entire album as archive

After our exciting times (and limited cruising) on the Kennet and Avon we decided (with some regrets) to look for a new berth. We settled on Crick, near Rugby, and planned to move the boat in September. Because of weather (the Thames was closed for the first two weeks) and personal issues (a hospital appointment) this became the end of September, when we hit a perfect weather window, and made the transit in 10 days.
