Moved back up to Gloucester docks to fill up with water.

Spoke to the Llantony bridge keeper and he advised us that it would be OK to stop in the docks for 48 hours, go away then return mid next week for another 48 hours – that’s probably what we will do.

Had a bit of a wander around the docks – some photos below.

Nice to see that it's still possible to have a wooden boat built - just need a lottery win!!
