| Approaching Marston Doles top lock |
We set off at 9:30, passed through Napton Junction onto the (south) Oxford Canal.and reached Napton bottom lock after 2 miles. Then the 7 locks of the Napton flight spread over a mile followed a mile later by the 2 locks at Marston Doles took us up to the top pound. This is some 10 miles long and meanders around the hilly countryside following the contour at about 110 metres.
After lunch on the move we moored up near the route of HS2 some 3 miles from Fenny Compton .
5 hours cruising 9 locks 9 miles
