Sorry not to have updated the blog for a week but we have been enjoying ourselves out on the water, chugging along the South Oxford, the North Oxford, the Coventry and now Ashby Canal. We left Fenny in mild, cloudy and very windy conditions and after a short first day we ventured down the two Marsden Doles Locks to see how Jenny's ankle faired. All ok so after lunch we continued down the Napton flight in challenging winds, taking it very carefully and slowly. By the time we reached bottom lock the ankle was causing some pain and was very swollen. However, we now only have the three Hilmorton Locks to face in several days time.
We kept our days short and enjoyed some lovely quiet moorings on our journey to Hawkesbury Junction where we enjoyed a gorgeous drop of Abbots Ale at the Greyhound - our first for a while.
The atmosphere seems to change when turning onto the delightful Ashby Canal. The sun is shining and we are due to have short lived heatwave for the next couple of days.
