From the Thames to the Oxford Canal

We left the Thames this morning via the Dukes Cut. This gave us two more manned locks on the Thames and a more picturesque departure from Oxford. It is always rather sad to leave this beautiful river but we know we will return in the future.

After many weeks of large locks it is strange to once again be negotiating the single locks of the Oxford Canal with just an inch or so to spare each side of Hunters Moon. We soon got back in tune with them and arrived at a very busy Thrupp where we moored in one of only two spaces left - at 1.00pm!! Very lucky!

We will slowly make our way to Banbury for Saturday where we are due to meet up with Sid's grandson, Wayne and his daughter, Mia, Sid's great granddaughter!
