Oxford Canal....
Moved down the Oxford canal and I must say it's a very nice rural trip with plenty of meandering stretches that almost turns back on itself.
Plenty of traffic in the opposite direction as they headed North from the Cropredy festival where Fairport Convention, Alice Cooper and 10cc played to name a few.
Moored up in Oxford checking out the town and trying to plan the winter schedule.
Passed this classic but havn't been able to identify it yet.. Sort of a Del Boy Sportster......
Tait getting very competent steering, well he's had a great tutor, exiting a blind corner...
Had a morning where it got a bit chilly compared to the last months weather but by the afternoon was back to tee shirts....
Steered through the narrows...
A shower of rain then the evening turned out great.... looking from our overnight mooring...
Chinese laundry??.. clean clothes infused with the aroma of the plants...
The RH side of the new Cropredy marina... just puddles...
The LH side and entrance has water in undergoing a "leak" test for 2 weeks.. still a lot of work to do....
A couple of well groomed donkeys.....
