We start our narrowboat journey from just before Stratford Basin and head straight out on to the River Avon. It's much wider than we thought and there is a lot of wildlife. The thing you notice the most is the space and how different things are. For instance the signs that guide you into locks and away from weirs have us confused.

Just completed a trip from Tewkesbury (Where our boat is moored) to Stratford and back. Took my Grandchildren on that ferris wheel which was a bit of a moment...Grandad had to be brave :-) Above Evesham I'd recommend a narrow boat, or preferably a hovercraft or air-boat. We've got a Mercruiser with an outdrive and we spent most of the time scraping on the bottom. Below Evesham its controlled by sluice gates so the water level is around 8 - 10 foot. Above Evesham its 8 - 10 inches, or at least thats how it felt :-) Oh, and you're absolutely right. Don't go anywhere near a lock unless you've got a life jacket on (Mr Cruising The Cut please take note!!) . One slip and you're a gonner !!

Definitely some chuckling there. In all seriousness, it looks like some lovely cruising, and sounds like the mooring was exactly what you wanted. I loved the candid shot of Kath opening the stern doors and letting Munchy out. Thanks as always for taking the same to put this together to share for us, and please stay safe and well out there! Fingers crossed the weather turned out good (if hot) with calm waters!

Wow nice videos love the paintings I paint in oils? Just a little bit of help if you are in a double boated lock on your own. and your about to open the gate only open the one that is on your boats side as when the lock fills the water will rush into the lock towards the other side of the lock thus the water will hold or push against your boat keeping it steady ? best wishes Ken

I absolutely love the Avons , please please do a slow tv realtime journey with the camera on the bow for a couple of hours like cruising the cut does... The longer the better! I use the videos not only to meditate but as muse because I'm a small boat builder , I can sit for hours just staring at the screen with pen and paper in my hand and as I wonder in the beauty of the river things just hit me, I guess it just totally mesmerize's me and clears my mind of other things and I'm able to put pen to paper and see construction issues before building starts saving me time, money and materials . Love the vids, I look forward to more from the Avon. Thanks .mikey.

Also on google is a photo of where you stopped to moor up. 60 years ago I formed and ran a cycling club and 18 of us cycled overnight to Stratford Upon Avon arriving at 5am. We set up a mini camp in the park, side of river and cooked breakfast on primas stoves, solid brass and I still have mine. Don't think we would be allowed to do that these days amonst the flower beds and riverside walkway x

Avon is the Celtic (British) word for 'River'... hence there are so many rivers called Avon. The name 'Stratford' is derived from as Street ford where 'street' is roman for 'road' and ford is a shallow bit of river where you cross (which was down by the Stratford lock, not Clopton Bridge) so Stratford on Avon literally translates "road crossing on a river"... kind of destroys all the magic.
