Since we have been here the weather has been fairly mild and I have only been caught in a couple of light showers. I was not sure if I would have time to blog while here in the UK, but I could not resist sharing this lovely walk yesterday with you all.
The Kennet & Avon Canal has awesome examples of canal engineering. The 16 locks that form the steepest part of the flight at Caen Hill are not only a scheduled ancient monument, they are an Olympic sized challenge every boater must do. Caen Hill (pronounced ‘cane’ ), is one of the longest continuous flight of locks in the country - a total of 29 locks with a rise of 237 feet over 2 miles with a 1 in 44 gradient for anyone who's counting!

Just loved the reflection here on the very still water.

Out for a walk.
I have updated my bird blog HERE.
