Wightwick Mill Lock c. 1980 The foam didn't smell very nice!

Last night's sunset.

We never had any problems on the Severn or the Avon with our RN DM2 powered, 70' narrowboat, when we were moored on the Avon at Tewkesbury.

I bought these two galvanized cans 40 years ago, and they are both still watertight. I haven't a clue who made them, though! I think I bought them at the shop that was at the bottom of Foxton.

We've been moored in the Locks Marina for thirty years! 😃 As Tony wrote, it's an interesting place to be, especially where we are!

Yesterday at Calcutt...

Some boaters were known to open the paddles on the river lock until the water in the basin was low enough for them to get under the bridge.

The feeder canal wasn't part of the Glamorgan Canal. It was channelled beneath the canal just below North Road Lock where the canal reached the castle wall.
