Leaving Bristol.

Day 9
Quiet day, but no (as promised) photo of Dylan. We did call in on John (the lock-keeper) as we departed the environs of Bristol, only to be told that, when he was leaving for work this morning, Dylan “didn’t seem very interested”! Probably no offer ‘of double-time for Sundays’, and Dylan is a staunch union member.

Leaving Bristol in our wake ... 



 ... we noticed that we were approaching a low bridge ... 












Not this low bridge ... 













 ... THIS low bridge ...

Around the several waterways of Bristol's harbour area can be seen boats of multifarious type and use ... 











Replica of John Cabot's ship: Matthew,










We moored early near a railway bridge, though a quiet one, as the train only runs four times each Saturday and Sunday; on a 6 mile run!


















Total progress for the day was: 9 miles + 3 locks. Weather: Not great! More soon, Tom.
