Runaway boat’s journey comes to a muddy end
A boat that slipped its moorings and drifted down the New Cut has come to a muddy end on the banks of the River Avon.
Bristol24/7 understands that the unmanned craft got swept down over Netham Weir on Monday morning, before floating out of Bristol on the outgoing tide.
Twenty-four hours later, she remained beached by the side of the Pill footpath close to the Clifton Suspension Bridge.
The small white craft is registered with the Canal & River Trust, which grants licenses to boats that use the UK’s waterways.
