Operative Dane gives a confident thumbs up as he heads into #Woolhampton Lock to reconnect a paddle rod. It's all fixed now. #WorkingForCanals #TuesdayMotivation #KennetAndAvon

Our wonderful East #KennetAndAvon #volunteers have transformed land at Crofton Pumping Station by making a brilliant sign inspired by the machinery of the beam engines. Also they built a planting seat to be filled with herbs & planted a small community orchard. What stars! 🤩🙏

Now you see it; now you don’t! Trust Volunteers have cleared the vegetation on the wall yesterday on the narrow section of the K&A approaching Newbury lock. Amazing that the vegetation has cracked the wall and brickwork.

@LockCrt Hmm! Nasty! Certainly tea and bickie time.

Brilliant work by the selfless volunteers of the @CanalRiverTrust on the Kennet & Avon. Replacing ‘stops’ is not for the feint hearted, but this merry band of brothers have nailed it for our benefit……ok, cemented it. Wonderful to hear their stories & how volunteers are key. 🫡

What was your first lock? There's nothing like that sense of achievement from making it through one, or up a whole flight!💪 💙 Remember to: Watch your fenders Communicate with your crew Be wary of slippery surfaces And of course, take it slow 📷#Bridgwater & #Taunton Canal

Our #Kintbury #volunteers were out dodging the showers this week to cut back the vegetation and keep the towpath tidy. If you'd like to volunteer but are unsure how you can make a difference, check out the large variety of roles we offer: ow.ly/zjS250WUAET #VolunteerByWater

Our Operations Teams are constantly #WorkingForCanals to keep them running for all our customers. Here on the eastern #KennetAndAvon they have made and installed new anchor plates at Sheffield Lock 101. The gates seal a lot better now. 👍

Thanks to the Operatives and Volunteers on the eastern K&A for working on this joint effort. Always a pleasure with a “can do” approach!

Fantastic team effort by our skilled Operations Team and #volunteers who are moving the work boat so they can repair large voids in the canal banks at Padworth and Aldermaston. #VolunteerByWater #WorkingForCanals

Whether the job is large or small our intrepid #volunteers tackle each task with gusto. Here our #Bath team untangles some discarded fishing tackle that had snagged some poor paddle boarders. #KennetAndAvon #VolunteerByWater

Fantastic job done here by our intrepid operatives. Further good use of the boat’s crane, and the usual teamwork by our colleagues.
