26th September
Up early for once leaving Devizes to do the Caen Hill flight of 16 locks plus 6 before we got there and 7 after! I think I managed 4; poor Pete. CRT volunteers helped for the last 10 or so, which was a blessing and made our progress much faster. They are a very welcome sight.
The flight has a beautiful view from the top and the sun shone again to make it easier. There were several school parties out to watch the ups and downs and some canoeing in the pound, all very jolly, we even had some help with the lock gates from some of them.
A tiring day with a well earned beer at the end of it. Cheers.
The end of the flight
