Temp 18c
We left Abingdon around 10.30am & headed upstream towards Oxford.
Moored for lunch in Botley having navigated an Oxford boat club regatta. Went under low bridge just after Botley & had to remove chimney!
Came thru’ Osney lock with no problems this time! (Last year bringing Quidditch back to Reading we took this lock on the wrong side and got wedged against the weir wall).
When we arrived @ Kings Lock for the turn for Lechlade it all seemed much smaller than we remembered. Kings lock is the 1st lock on the Thames off the Oxford Canal which we navigated last year!. We we’re novices then though!
Moored @ Eynsham on a farmers field for the night, £5. Sat out in the sunshine watching a Hercules & Re-Fueler from Brize Norton doing approaches, then went & had a pub meal atThe Talbot, which was a real treat and not a bad meal either!
Nature Notes : - Nothing to report.
