Cropredy back to Hennef Way, Banbury

by Keith October 15, 2020 2 Comments

The last job on the list is to get the toilet tank pumped out. We got diesel & water yesterday, just need to empty the other one now! Were not in a rush today, it’s a reasonable one, not too cold or wet and managed to get some work done to start whilst I wait […]

Banbury (Hennef Way) to Cropredy

Well, the water tank is dry, and has been for 2 days now. The fuel tank is almost dry and were expecting Dusty the fuel boat to come though some day soon… We have also been waiting to get the car back, so were safe to move the boat – which was done this morning, […]

Rain rain and more rain – were staying in Banbury for now!

by Keith October 6, 2020 No Comments

Were settled at Hennef Way, and the rain is still not going away completely. But that doesn’t matter to anything but the wet washing..  a hire car is arranged, the fire will be lit soon (after a quick re-organisation from summer to winter storage modes within the boat) and the weir here is flowing very […]

Hennef Way Mooring, Banbury to Hennef Way Mooring, Banbury

by Keith August 23, 2020 No Comments

It’s a services run today..  out and back through Banbury, turning at the “Banbury Tramway” moorings, and back to Hennef Way. There were quite a few boats moving down Banbury lock though..   and it takes a while to fill our tank, so apologies if any were hoping to get water before using the lock.. sorry.. […]

Its our usual Cropredy to Hennef Way run today..    Nothing flash, just the track! ( And a photo of when we got there ! ) And..   whilst the above are lovely and sedate..  the weather did not stay that way..   2 days later, and were not moving in this!

Fenny Compton to Bridge 155, South Cropredy

Time to move on from Fenny Compton…  First things first, get through the Fenny Compton tunnel that’s known as the tunnel with a view!..   Mainly because it was opened up but the channel is still very narrow, and as expected.. there is a boat coming the other way so time to squeeze into one of […]

Napton Adkins Lock to Fenny Compton

Boat after boat after boat is coming up the lock and heading for the ones that only opened at 10am..  This doesn’t bode well for a speedy trip through Marston Doles..   and the worries were founded when we got there..  10th in a queue waiting to get up those two locks.. Were only just through […]

Braunston to Napton Adkins Lock

by Keith August 15, 2020 No Comments

After a visit to The Boathouse last night (can’t come to Braunston and not go after all!) and an entertaining afternoon, evening and morning – it’s time to get moving. First things first though, time for a pump out before we head down the Oxford, as there are not many places where we can get […]

Weedon Bridge to Braunston

by Keith August 14, 2020 No Comments

Were hoping to get a gap in Braunston today – which we will need some luck for..  as a spot in Braunston, on an August summers day will be difficult to find.. It’s been a nice few days rest here, the trees that don’t overhang the boat and block the solar panels, do overhang the […]

I took a while for the cats to realise we were waiting for them to come back onboard so we could get going..   but eventually we could move on! And..  I’ll own up – I cant remember what happened on this day..   it’s taken a month for me to get to add this to the […]

Stoke Bruerne Top Lock to Blisworth Mill Bridge

by Keith August 10, 2020 No Comments

After becoming the usual part of the tourist attraction, which always happens when we moor up at a popular spot – it’s time to move on – first however, time to backup to the water point and top off the water tank at the water point above the lock and opposite the canal museum. It […]

Bridge 88, Eaglestone to Stoke Bruerne Top Lock

by Keith August 9, 2020 No Comments

After the shorter run yesterday, a long one for today..   hopefully the weather will be nice to us! Looks like there has been a service at some stage along this stretch.. Past Gulliver’s Land once more..  I really want to get chance to stop here – even if its just once! – And yes..  there […]

A shorter day than was planned..   we found a pub – called it and stopped.

Soulbury Bottom Lock (3 Locks Pub) to Waterhall Park Mooring, Bletchley

by Keith July 29, 2020 No Comments

Time to move on again – but first, move back to the water point..  avoiding those tree’s wanting to wipe the garden out! And a quick snap of the information board – showing roughly where were heading! And on to Bletchley..  passing what looks to be a delivery boat for Hingley & Sons (Netherton) Ltd! […]

Grove Lock #28 opposite Grove Lock Marina to Soulbury Bottom Lock (3 Locks Pub)

by Keith July 28, 2020 No Comments

A bit of a rude awakening this morning..   We were about to get ready to drop the lock and get moving when a boat came through. Fair enough – but..  this one had a boat tied up at the side (double breasted) and was also towing a third! With the side winds..   there was no […]
