Canal Cruisers

On Friday last week we went to a place that hires out 'Narrow Boats' and we hired a 70 footer. We drove it down the canal to a 'Lock' and spent the night moored on the side of the canal. It was freezing that night because the heating only works when the engine has been running for a long time. The next day we went through the lock and I suggest you watch the videos of the lock to find out how it works. We continued down the river to a place called Bath which has some famous Roman baths that we didn't see. On Sunday we came back along the canal, went through the lock in the other direction, then motored past the mariner where we had hired the narrow boat and continued for about 2 miles along the canal. On our last day we went about 1 km along the canal to one of the turning spots where we turned around and headed back to the mariner to return the boat.
My job was to help Dad by controlling the speed lever when he asked me to go faster or slower. Sometimes I did the right speed and other times I put on too much gas and we went screaming along almost out of control.
On the way back to Sarah and Pete's place, we called in to see a very famous manor house and some ancient stones at a place called Avebury. The stones were set in their places for some type of worship by the ancient Britons in about 3500 BC. Then we went to a place called the 'Long Barrow' which was a burial place for the ancient people who lived in the area. It was carefully made with huge boulders and covered with earth. These places are the oldest remains of ancient civilizations in the world.
