Forgot to mention that somewhere down the lower end of the Caen Hill flight the bow T stud got broken off by a lock gate. Phoned Bradford Wharf to ask about welding it back on and arranged to call in later.
The stretch from here to Bradford is probably least attractive bit of the K&A.
Arrived Bradford Wharf at about noon. They agreed to do the job there and then, but we had to wait for the trip boat to leave first so we could shuffle boats around. Had lunch in the cafe on the wharf. Eventually got away about 3pm.
The stretch from Bradford to Bath is one of the best bits of the K&A, only spoilt by the large number of moored boats.
Moored above the locks in Bath and walked to the King William for a meal. We were not expecting such expensive food, £22.50 for 2 courses, but it was the best meal of the trip so far. I had Cornish Crab salad followed by slow cooked Lamb for 2. Then we went on to the Old Green Tree which I remembered from previous visit(s) to Bath.
