thanks for those replies, our plan is to stop near Bathampton Friday night and then descend into Bath early Sat morning, hoping to pick a recently vacated spot near the weir, we have people driving up from Devon to meet us there for the day, so would be nice to be right in the centre, Sunday we plan to plough on the Bristol, and stop 2 nights in the floating harbour (blow the cost), then Tuesday back to Bath, maybe moor somewhere different, and then 2 nights in the country enoute back to Sally boats at Bradford
