Go west young man

My 62ft traditional SM Hudson narrowboat had been languishing in Roydon Marina for the winter but now, at the beginning of April, it was time for me to explore the UK canals, in particular the Kennet & Avon. 1 was sad to leave Roydon as it was strategically well placed for me, near to rail links to Stanstead and London (I live in France and have family at Chelmsford); the quaint village boasts three pubs and the marina has a useful clubhouse. But I do believe that boats are to be used so it was time to de-rig the shore supply and let go all lines. Bath here we come... lock up your daughters!
