Osney Lock down the River Thames to Abingdon
Another bright spring day, lovely blue sky, but very cold blast of wind as we moved down the Thames.
Below Osney Lock we encountered several fast moving rowing skiffs, and they gave us some nervous moments as we threaded our way through Oxford, the river twisting and turning everywhich way. Fortunately, we were following another narrow boat, and he seemed to know his way, and selected the right route and bridge arches to go under! We passed many college boathouses along the way.
We have moored in Abingdon alongside a lovely grassy meadow. A walk into the town revealed an attractive town, with lots of old buildings. We shall revisit tomorrow.
Note - is it a bird or is it a plane, in the sky of one of todays photos?
