Kennet & Avon; Bath's canal and river

Bath has two major waterways running through it; the river Avon and the Kennet & Avon canal. The walk will take in stretches of both.

The river scenes are ‘classic’ Bath with the Pulteney Bridge and weir featuring in many tourist snaps. However, more dedicated photographers linger with an ND filter for some long exposure images. There will be opportunity to shoot from both sides of the river and, if time allows, and there is some energy left in the tank, we can also take in the relatively new ‘wavey’ bridge over the river that is part of the Newark Works complex.

The canal is less well known to the casual visitor but offers a wide range of photographic opportunities; ornate bridges, a tunnel, a few locks, barges and even a house on a bridge over the canal!

The whole walk will be around 2.5 miles, probably with a lunch stop at the Holburne Museum café?

The walk will start and end near the railway station.

Feedback Talk: the format will be decided at the walk, but I much prefer in-person feedback meetings and hope that those opting to come on this walk will be prepared to come to that meeting. Previous experience shows that attendees particularly enjoy being able to meet up with fellow photographers to view, discuss and handle A3 prints, as well as see them on screen, and of course, it is a much more sociable occasion than gathering via Zoom. Since the sale of RPS House, we no longer have the free use of the Education Room, so there will be a cost to the feedback meeting which would be in the region of £5-10 depending on the numbers attending. Confirmation of the feedback meeting location will be forthcoming once the bookings have been made, but it will be in Bristol.
