We started our first journey this year this morning after spending the night on Densie in the marina at Dunchurch in Warwickshire
Our route took us south on the North Oxford Canal to the canalside village of Braunston in Northamptonshire. At the junction near the village we turned west along the Grand Union Canal, the waterway being shared with the Oxford Canal.. The scenery is pleasant along this isolated stretch but there is liitle of great iterest to see, just trees, farmland and the occasional bridge.

At Napton Junction 5 miles further on we left the Grand Union turning onto the South Oxford Canal. We moored about half a mile further on at 3pm near the village of Napton On The Hill which overlooks the canal.
