Arriving in Bristol

• Adventures

We have finally made it to Bristol. We travelled from Sharpness down the Severn Estuary to Portishead Marina, where we overnighted. We made the journey with the help  of Carl, one of the  Gloucester Pilots.

Then the next day we journeyed on our own (although with another boat) from Portishead Marina, up the Estuary, turned into the River Avon and then along the Avon into Bristol. I hope to post a video of the journey later, but for now, here are some photos that our good friend Rob took as we approached and went through Bristol Lock. He was waiting for us, and it was great to see a familiar face at the end of the challenging trip.

Brandy Pad, in the distance, passes under the Clifton Suspension Bridge.

Hi There!

Good to see you

Many thanks to Rob for letting us use the pictures.
