Open to all members, a cycling and canoeing trip using the Two Tunnels cycleway and the Kennet and Avon canal to complete an out and back trip. This is a sedate tour not a race and is suitable for all abilities, providing you can cycle, and families.
The idea is to start from Locksbrook and use the cycleway to go under Bath and then down to the Angelfish cafe at Dundas. After refreshments exchange bikes for boats and canoe along the canal into Bath. Portage the Widcombe flight and use the River Avon to return to Locksbrook.
By using the large trailer we can carry 4 opens and afterward 10 bikes with more on private cars if we wish. If we use private cars and more boats then that will require more cars to meet at the crossover point at Dundas. The original plan is to meet at clubhouse then move to Locksbrook, maybe parking in the Park and Ride at Newbridge before starting the cycle part at the pedestrian bridge over the R Avon opposite the new Lidl store. ( No parking at Lidl !!).
Maps and photos of the route will be available.
