Cropredy again, nearly

 We are now in the final few days of our holiday.  But beyond Banbury there are very few shops and we still have 5 evening meals to arrange.  So we walked the short distance from our mooring to  Waitrose and bought 3 bags of provisions. 

Near Bourton Bridge

Ascending Slat Mill Lock

By 11:15 we were back on the boat and ready to leave. We left Banbury, yet again in sunny warm weather, ascended 3 locks and passed under the M40 ending up about half a mile short of Cropredy.

We were getting hungry as our morning shopping limited the time available for cruising prior to lunch.  The alternatives were to stop where we were as there was a usable mooring or to carry on to Cropredy which would have taken another half hour at least.  We chose the former option and moored up at 13:30.
