The final voyage

Day 5: Semington To Hilperton Boatyard

The cruise back to the boatyard safely navigated within good time and the boat surprisingly returned intact.  We then motored the few miles back to Bradford on Avon for a final breakfast at the Lock Inn Cafe where most of us were restrained apart from Paddy and Brian who had the Boatman’s Breakfast – what a plateful!  A good breakfast but not actually quite as good as those we had become used to – fried bread definitely greasier!


A thoroughly enjoyable week I hope was had by all with the good fortune of no rain - amazing during the second week of March.  For me it brought back splendid memories of previous canal ventures, the last of which was some 24 years ago.  If they wanted a repeat I would suggest venturing further north into the Midlands!  Watch this space.
