2011 : Kennet & Avon Canal west of Avoncliff A long straight stretch hidden by the wide variety of boats to be seen on the K&A. A mixture of craft, broad beam (up to 14 ft) and narrow, usually 6ft 10ins. Privately owned craft rub cheek by jowl with hire boats. Anything from 8 ft length to 72 (yes 72) ft. Though the only horse drawn boat I know of is usually at Kintbury.

2011 : Kennet & Avon Canal near Avoncliff This section of canal is concrete lined, the sloping sides underwater have caught many a steerer. Poor visibility round the bend tempts the steerer too close to the bank on the right. This gentleman is well experienced and has kept just far enough away from the side.

2011 : Kennet & Avon Canal approaching Winsley Bridge Between Avoncliff and Murhill. The towpath is much used by joggers and cyclists as well as walkers, some with dogs. A sewage treatment plant is close by to the left, it is only on rare occasions that passers by are aware of it.
