Monday 7 September 2009







From Cropredy to above Grant's Lock south of Banbury, Oxford Canal






We are off again, having delayed our start this morning to allow the congestion of boats and people and dogs to thin out. We are in no hurry!
We threaded our way through Banbury encountering many long term moorings and through narrow stretches. We steered around this sunken boat on the outskirts of Banbury, with a valid licence still visible!
A few moments wait to use the lock in the middle of Banbury, but no chance of Woolworths opening of course!
A little way out of Banbury we realised we were number 6 in the line for Grant's Lock and as queueing is not our favourite pasttime we moored up for the evening and enjoyed a glass of Bin 53!
5 locks; 6 miles
