Date - 23 /05/08 Day - Friday Start - 1000 Cropredy End - 1800 Napton Top Lock
We set off on a very overcast morning not getting away untill 10 o'clock. We paid the price of this late start by following boats up all the locks, even though we met several boats the timing didn't help much. In the Claydon flight the dull weather changed to rain just to add to the slow progress. During the afternoon things improved greatly with the sun breaking through strongly and stayed with us untill the top of Marston Doles when the skys opened with heavy rain and thunder, luckily we were pulling in to fill with water just as it started so were able to sit inside the boat for the worst of the weather, we then locked down the final two locks to moor at our home mooring at about 6pm. Since we left the mooring on Friday 19 April we have done 180 hrs and covered some 340 miles -- Brian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Join SOW and help save our waterways http://www.saveourwaterways.org
