Upper Heyford to Kings Sutton, Oxford Canal
An early start today to ensure we were ahead of the rest! We were still afloat, but the level was not quite what it should have been. It was at least mid morning before we saw a moving boat and it was rather pleasant to have the water and locks to ourselves for a time, even though it was a grey, still, bland sky all day.
After a brief stop at Aynho Wharf for lunch in The Great Western, (new owners since our canal pubs guide was published), we pushed on to Kings Sutton to moor up, making sure there was a goodly distance from the nearby railway.
En route this afternoon, we found Tuckeys (presumably working for British Waterways), craning out a cruiser that must have sunk - it had a valid licence and may well have been the navigational hazard we had to steer round, when we came through Banbury last week. We shall see tomorrow.
