Kennet and Avon Canal - We Go To Bath!

Julia and I are on the fabulous Kennet and Avon canal and today we cruise into Bath and visit the city. Sadly it is a whistle stop visit because there are other things to do and the weather threatens rain, but actually holds out for us.

We have only one more day left and have to make our way back tomorrow to the marina.

Hello Richard & Julia You both did so well making these videos.
Especially with such a small baby. You made a good team.
I have never been on a canal boat but seen them on TV.

its a shame its nearly over, , i, ve really enjoyed watching the boat trip, well done to all three of you for bringing it to our screens x

[MrNas]

Wow! The shot of Richard and Joseph as you came through the tunnel was idyllic. Well done for getting all the way through to Bath and for taking a quick stroll too.

Julia's narrow boating tips were brilliant. You must try to have a good turn at the tiller on the way back. You have an excellent teacher on-board! Full speed ahead now through just outside the marina.

You have done good, It was nice to see a tunnel, I'm very pleased you went through one! The week went quick indeed. Well done great video.

I love you guys. I was wondering where Julia got her skills at the helm!!! Your post was very nice. Editing is beautiful! Bath!!! Wow!!

Great series Richard and Julia, I ve been to Bath several times never knew there was so many fit people, all exercising down on the canal there 👍

[danielsedgwick]

You are both becoming pros at this canal thing and you are looking less stressed. :)

I thought those ducks looked rather aggressive!!!😂 I agree Julia - the entrances to the tunnel was beautiful! Loved Bath (I know you've made vids of walking around it before, but I was still rather hoping to see y'all exploring more of the city😕)! It was interesting listening to you guys talking at the end, but I gotta admit I was a bit distracted by Joseph's tongue in search of his pacifier!😛😜😝👶🏻🤣🤣🤣 So cute!

Never been to Bath, looks fun to wander around. :D

[davidbooth]

I built my own boat and I set it afloat! I went through locks and tunnels! Where I lost all the funnels! I didn’t get it right! I forgot about the height! Julia has become a Tiller Girl, only those over 60 will understand that one!!

[Elfwald]

Feel like I'm coming down with a cold. I blame you Richard, just before the weekend as well. Last time i watch one of your videos. Uf! 😋

[zootuk]

Ive already thought i would love to do this but a little bit nervous thinking i would be useless piloting the narrowboat and nobody to teach me. Looks such a lovely thing to do on the water and visiting places for a week or even two. Thank you Richard and Julia for a series of super videos 🌻

[stevegee]

That’s the second time this week I have seen those tunnels this week. The first was a couple who have given up land living. Channel Floating our Boat). Also I noticed that you are coming under Julia’s influence and your cloths are going purple. Great video.

We love Bath and have stayed there in a hotel, but I must admit being on a canal boat does look more fun. A guided tour around the ancient baths is well worth the pennies. When we last went you could put your fingers in to the warm, spring, water, which considering the Romans did exactly the same many years ago is quite amazing! 👍

[MrGreatplum]

Good to see a dry day. I’ve only been through bath on the train really - would love to spend some time there.

Bow thrusters are amazing - makes life a lot easier to moor!

[georginacox]

Looks lovely. Londoney.Marq English just uploaded me a video. His fourth time in Florida.

[johnhorne]

There is a good brewer in Devizes and you would need a pint after going up or down those locks nearby.

[timspooner]

I see double...2 bald explorers..one big and one small....

[robertbaxter]

They let us moor in the marina on our final night so we could use the facilities and restaurant etc

Remember the phrase 'bald as a coot'. A coot has a white forehead extending almost to the top of its head (hence the description 'bald'), while a moorhen has a red forehead not going as far up. NB this applies to the UK/European coot and moorhen. I believe America has different birds with the same name (as with some other birds, such as the robin.
