Last hurdle of day 1 - Caen locks.  All I can say is it's bigger than it looks on the map.

Took us 1 1/2 hours to carry kayaks up but lots of lovely encouragement along the way.   Great welcome at the b&b and they even let our wet boots in the house!

End of a very wet day - wa had rain on and off all day.   Some really full on.  Thanks to family and friends for the send off in Bath.

Now it's time for food.
