Moonraker Team Canal Boats

Moonraker country is Wiltshire,England the home of the legend
of locals fooling the Excise Men by 'raking that tere big cheese'.
(What they were really after was the keg of brandy hidden in the pond)
Devizes or Bishop Cannings? which is the correct pond?,
who knows, even the locals argue.
The Kennet and Avon Canal runs through Wiltshire carrying these days mostly leisure boats, one of the most challenging parts is at Devizes where the Caen Hill flight of 29 locks raises the water some 231 feet in a distance of 2 miles.
It takes most of a day to complete the flight, hard work for the boaters, great fun for the watchers!
