Back on the Oxford Canal

 

Waiting for the gates to be opened at Iffley Lock

Entering Iffley Lock

Folly Bridge in Oxford

Today we cruised up the Thames through Oxford and returned to the Oxford Canal.  Again an early morning setting off at 8am pasing through Iffley Lock, Folly Bridge  and Osney Locks before the Lock Keepers came on duty.  The pictures show the amazing differences in width of different sections of the Thames. 

Back on the canals - Isis Lock

Moored in the Jericho area of Oxford

After Osney Lock we turned right off the Thames through the Sheepwash Channel and Isis Lock onto the Canal. At 10:25 we found a mooring spot in the shade about a quarter of a mile further up the canal where we plan to spend 2 days until the temperature drops making cruising more comfortable.
