Since our plans to return home by the weekend may be disrupted by bad weather we decided to travel a reasonable distance today as the fotrecast was sunny and dry.
After leaving Cropredy at 9:30 we ascended the three isolated locks and cruised onto the 5 Claydon Locks. These we ascended quickly with help of volunteer lock-keepers. At Claydon Top Lock I was pleased to see a couple of swallows in a tree. I had seen a few flying around the lock on our outward journey but forgot to mention them in the blog.
We stopped for a late lunch on the boat at Fenny Crompton and then moved on for about about 3 miles to an isolated mooring with wide views across the countryside.
