MUST be a record! 14 ducklings
Yolk Ditch off to the right. Tiddle Widdle Island ahead - who thought up these names??
Hi Kezzie!
Approaching Wyre lock, with the old mill ahead. We go to the right
Dragon boat and oarswomen, passing us at a cracking pace
Roger and Jan waiting for the lock, after Roger steered Catnap across the two weir streams
Niki in position to manage the bow line
Kezzie and Denis closing the bottom gate
Kezzie opening the top gate, while Roger holds the bow. The lock is diamond shaped, which can make keeping the boat steady a little tricky
Mr and Mrs Sneyd have been volunteer lock keepers for 37 years!
Mary Sneyd sells paintings to raise money for the Avon Navigation Trust - Jan bought this
Pauline steering, quickly getting the hang of it
Heron weathervane

Lock keeper and helpers at Fladbury, as Catnap and another boat rise up in the lock
Spectacular cedar of Lebanon
Moored at Craycombe Turn for lunch, a well deserved rest
Roger with Catnap
Niki and the next lock, Chadbury, in view
Weir stream coming from the left - we're aiming for the lock ahead
In the lock by ourselves this time, Niki on the bow line
Waiting for the lock to fill
Pretty vintage cruiser
