The origin of the Towpath Trail was for transportation purposes. Before there was engine to pull the boats, horses used to pull the boats up and down the canal. The Towpath Trail is now one the many National Cycling Network in the UK.

Heron on the Canal Between Devizes and Trowbridge
A heron I encountered on my way home along the Kennet and Avon canal. I think this is the closest I've got on my bike!
Should we buy a narrowboat?
Julia and I have returned the wonderful hire boat to the marina at Hilperton near Trowbridge. We are sad that the week on the Kennet and Avon canal is over but we are very excited about the future because we are considering the possibility of buying a Bald Explorer narrowboat! What do you think?
We don't want to buy a brand new one, but a boat that needs some work which we can post videos about our progress.

We finally tackle CAEN HILL FLIGHT on Devizes Canal! Basically LOTS of locks!
A year ago we didn't plan on moving this far this soon in our widebeam canalboat because our cruising pattern didn't require us to. As liveaboards, the terms set out by the Canal & River Trust require you to move 20miles in 1 direction each year, staying a maximum of 14days at each mooring, a minimum of 1km apart...make sense? Took us a while to get our heads around too haha!
Because of the girls school we didn't need to move much further past Hilperton (Trowbridge) but as we took them out of school in April then we no longer had the ties so why wouldn't we tackle the historical Caen Hill Flight in our Sailaway?
Check out how we got on. Typically it wasn't without it's 'moments', or hours should i say!!!
Please pop a thumbs up, subscribe, share and all that shizzle :)
Thanks for your support as always!
