Well another week has gone by and in that time we have been to Calcutt, Napton, Fenny Compton, where we spent 2 nights, Clayton and Cropredy.  I have worked more than 20 locks, Paul has the number in his log!  We are now heading towards Banbury, there is a canal day there on Sunday so we are hoping we will be able to moor there and stay for that.  At least to moor for shopping as the fridge is looking very bare at the moment.  Got wine and beer tho’ so all is not lost.  The Oxford Canal is very different from the Grand Union.  Very rural and bendy.  Quite narrow in places.  The locks too are different.  No longer 2 boats wide.  Therefore you think they would be easier to work, not a bit.  The paddles are hard to move and the top gates stiff to get going.  Still the plus side is I should be working off some calories! Some hopes!
