A wonderful day for Reading's #PlatinumJubilee Waterfest including Ukrainian dancing, canal boats and huge numbers of stalls and entertainment.

Thank you to everyone who has made today so special for #Rdguk

We're getting about a bit at the moment – here's @KnowlesEric turning the lock at Newbury, and recently the @CanalRiverTrust publication had a photo of @brianblessed raising the paddles at Padworth Lock. Fancy crewing on one of our trip boats? Full training provided!😉

@drthatch Thanks Don. Navigation problems can be reported to the Canal and River Trust (@CRTContactUs) who manage the waterways. Hopefully all is well cleared and passable by now given the winds have calmed down!

[Kennet and Avon Canal Trust (Reading) @KACTReading]

Wow! Nothing like that up this end :)

Look who turned up at Hanham Lock near #Bristol This seal pup had been tagged in Scotland on June 21 and travelled to the Old Lock & Weir Inn’s front door! He went to RSPCA West Hatch Animal Centre in Taunton to be cared for, soon to be released back into the sea. #KennetAndAvon

New Year's Eve from the easternmost part of the K&A. That's Reading's High Bridge in the distance, and the river beyond that is so windy and narrow that it's governed by traffic lights!

An amazing perspective of Crofton - we're looking forward to it being back in steam in the spring!

The magnificent @croftonbeamengs sat alongside the @GWRHelp Hants and Berks Ext Railway and of course the @KACTReading @KandA200 Kennet and Avon.

does anyone know if the new Assassin’s Creed lets you sail your longship up the Thames to Reading and then establish The Museum of English Rural Life

Thrilled that our Eco-Committee have secured a generous @BSI_UK donation for the Kennet and Avon Canal Trust, a local charity who our girls have enjoyed volunteering with. @KACTReading #volunteering @EcoSchools #supportlocal Read more - https://t.co/l0cLOcMozE #charitytuesday

Hi @CRTWalesandSW - are you aware of this? Presume the bridge is your jurisdiction not the local authority's? (cc: @WestBerkshire)
