Now that the weather has cooled a bit we can make longer journeys.Today we set off at 8:40 and travelled north up the Oxford Canal to Kidlington, close to where we moored 10 days ago.

Travelling was slow because the canal was narrow and there were many moored boats. But it was an enjoyable cruise as the canal is quite attractive. We stopped for water and to dump the rubbish near St Edwards Bridge. The canal then took us past Dukes Cut Junction where we had turned off to go to the Thames on our outward journey.
Two locks further on we moored up for the night near Kidlington at 13:05. Later in the afternon we walked 15 minutes into the town centre were we bought a few groceries.
