Full Circle

We arrived back at Fenny Compton Marina this afternoon after a very slow and rather tiresome final 9 locks. It seemed every hire boat in and around the Oxford Canal wanted to ascend the Napton flight!

Napton Bottom Lock

We received a lovely welcome from Pat, the marina manager and we are back on our same mooring for August.

Now the promised boring stats:
We have passed through 262 locks
We have done 339 engine hours
We have been on board for 87 days
We have visited 3 different marinas(for our trips back home)
We have sampled 45 pubs, which only goes to show that we don't end up in a pub every night, as some followers might think!
Not sure how many different beers we have tasted (hic!) but can safely say most have been excellent!
We have met loads of lovely people and enjoyed some fabulous weather.
Off for a final beer at the Wharf now!
Oops! Sorry!
That is 46 pubs!!- before heading home tomorrow.

Back on board in September to continue our travels during the autumn.  We are thinking of Warwick and Stratford on Avon!

Watch this space!  Coming soon on Jenny and Sid's blog.............

Thanks for following our adventures.
