Scenery changed again on the run into Bristol, it was heavily wooded on both sides as we continued through the valley. Smells of chocolate as we passed the Cadbury’s factory at Keynsham. Hanham lock completes the 107 locks on the K & A. From here it is now tidal to Netham lock and we have to phone ahead and book in with the lock keeper for entry into Bristol harbour. We have to stop at Netham lock to get a licence and entry into the harbour at £40 for two nights. Which was well worth the visit and anyone visiting Bristol, the SS Great Britain is highly recommended.
