Moved along to Pewsey Wharf to fill up with water and have breakfast there.
Stopped for lunch at the Bridge Inn, Horton Bridge. Here they had Wadworth IPA and 6X from wooden firkins behind the bar. Although the IPA was good, the 6X was not.
At Devizes Wharf we stopped to empty the loo and have a cup of tea. Then we went down through the first five locks to reduce the number we have to do tomorrow. This takes you to the top of the main flight of 16 locks at Caen Hill, and there are a few 24hr moorings here. We were the only boat moored here that was waiting to go down.
As none of of the 3 Devizes pubs in the GBG does food in the evening we went back up the locks to the Black Horse by the canal to eat. This too is a Wadworth pub and we had some JCB which was drinkable but not right.
After that we walked into town for cash, provisions and to the Hare and Hounds pub for what is supposed to be the reference pint of 6X. It's been in the GBG for 20 years with the same licencee.
