Devizes

5.5 miles, 0 locks, 2 swing bridges.

We made an early start as we weren't sure how much visitor mooring there is in the centre of Devizes. It was a peaceful early morning cruse interrupted by little except two swing bridges.

As it turned out there is plenty of 72 hour mooring opposite the wharf and within easy walking distance of the town centre.

We had lunch in the wharf tea room and explored the town centre. Robin ordered medicines from our GP via a local pharmacy and Jo booked a haircut for tomorrow. There wasn't much sun, but what there was sparkled around the White Horse Hire Boats at the wharf.

Later in the day we walked some of the Caen Hill lock flight, to remind ourselves what is in store on Sunday.

Tomorrow we will continue to enjoy the delights of Devizes, which will include not only a haircut but also a visit to Sainsbury's with our trolley. It looks like we will be in Bristol by this time next week!
