We have moved along to Hilmorton (about half a mile) and walked up to get the oil and filter for John to do an oil change tomorrow, then on Tuesday morning we head off a couple of miles to Bradford on Avon where we are meeting Jan and Rog. What a social life we are suddenly getting!
My connection isn't brilliant here but I'll do what I can with pictures.
Valerie and Graham helping us out on the locks. If any of you are lucky enough to be offered a slice of Valerie's Lemon Drizzle cake, savour it! Rachel and gang were VERY impressed, and I admitted it wasn't mine!
All of the locks are named after people or associations or groups who helped with the restoration of the locks. I think it's a lovely idea. I'd like a lock named after me - but a nice narrow gauge one that has perfectly balanced gates and no leaks!
View from the top of the hill! Quite impressive - coming up to it it feels as if you're going to drop off the end of the earth! The weather deteriorated from this point....
Looking back up the flight - it doesn't look that impressive here but believe me it is.
Steve who had never worked a lock before became quite a professional by the end of the day!
It's no wonder that some lock gates are hard to open properly - all the rubbish that gets caught behind them.
I probably won't post anything tomorrow as we won't be doing a lot, but will get back when there's something to say.
