| Wooded section of the Oxford Canal |
We awoke to blue skies and no wind so time to move on. First task was to ascend the top Napton Lock and then half a mile later ascend the two Marston Doles locks, the final locks for today.
The remainder of the journey was spent chugging along the canal, at times quite slowly because it was shallow. The countryside was attractive with woods and fields with sheep and very young lambs. Less attractive was the short section through the HS2 construction site. We had time to make up because of not travelling yesterday so ate lunch on the move.
At 2 pm we stopped at Fenny Compton to fill up with water and then moroed up a100 yards later near the Wharf Inn for the night.
