A massive well done to the volunteers along the flight over the last few days! They've been enduring this blistering heat to keep the boats in motion and doing a grand job 👌

I've been busy fettling away on Jolly preparing a few areas for some paint finally! It's about time we got to work removing a few scuffs and getting her shiny again so look forward to a few more renovation videos in the near future!

Also a massive thank you for all the towpath support we've had recently! It feels like we're still at the beginning of a never ending adventure and meeting faces along the canal that take enjoyment from following our journey really makes it all worthwhile 😊

Have a good weekend everyone, don't get too sunburnt ☠️

We spent a night next to the absolutely GORGEOUS Dundas Aqueduct which we have decided will defo be a spot for future stop overs.

Its a gorgeous area so if your looking for a particularly scenic escape then perhaps hire a day boat from Bradford on Avon and head upstream, just be cautious of the time! Unsurprisingly it's a very busy section of the K&A especially for hires!

Some other boats ended up waiting for several hours just to get through the bottlenecked BoA lock! We gave one boat a tow and made some new friends in the process before helping the slightly overwhelmed luckiest to manage the giant traffic jam!

Always an interesting cruise aboard JR! ☠️

A tragic loss to the Swan community 😔 We saw Jeffrey only the day before... Locks are for boats! Not animals! Please read and take note if your on the waterways

In todays video, we're back off the Avon and back up the deep lock! Much scarier heading upstream in my opinion 😅

We're also thinking of making a few 'spin-off' videos about lock etiquette, swing bridges, facilities and other boaty things aiming to be a little more informative for those curious 🤔 So if there is any specific areas of boat life your eager to know more about make sure to either drop a comment or send us a message to let us know what you want to see!

See you on the cut ☠️

Enjoy a peaceful cruise down the Avon with us! It's much more peaceful on the rivers.. less boats, less gongoozlers, less noise. After a long day this might be the perfect video to wind down to 😇

Stay tuned for more!

Setting off from Foxhangers and cruising on towards Bath!

We met a nice couple from the Netherlands on a hire so we had company on our cruise! Wonder what other faces we'll bump into along the way 🤔

Bath deep lock will be up I'm the next video!

A few snapshots from today 😍 Eagle eyed viewers will notice we're finally down the flight! 😮 We also had a very curious Robin that hung out with us most of the evening. It even disappeared onboard Jolly at one point and took itself for a tour! 😅

Bath/Bristol bound finally! Video coming soon 😉☠️
