This is the final barge post; we were so busy on the trip that it has been good to go back over the photos and videos to remind ourselves of all we saw.
The first video is of us going through the Bruce tunnel. I speeded up the middle part as it would take very long to watch otherwise. The strange scraping sound you hear is actually just the speeded up sound of the bow-thrusters keeping the barge on the right track. Toni and I were sitting on the front of the barge so it was lovely when Nathan switched off the engine as we exited, very tranquil, until the high-speed train raced past us...
The second video has some clips of the Kennet and Avon leg. It starts with Nathan squeezing though one of the swing bridges, I tried to film the entire closing process but I was standing in the tow-path and a cyclist came along and I had to move.
This is followed by Nathan and Charmaine navigating Newbury town centre, as well as a few bird clips, including the world's dumbest duck.
Thanks for watching!
We're currently back in the Brittany house, providing holiday cover for B&T. We're here for another week or so and are then planning a quick trip to the Pyrenees but will need to see what the weather outlook is closer to the time.
Then, towards the end of September we'll be back here to do the winter sit. Log fires, gardening and two gorgeous cats to look after.
