After modifying the plumbing a bit and having Sunday lunch with my son we left the moorings at ten to five in the afternoon. We went up the flight stopping for water at Marston Doles and then mooring for the night at bridge 123 at 6-15 pm.

Today was cooler but dry, we set off at 9-40 am. We winded at Grimsbery Wharf just north of Banbury at 5-30 pm. and then moored for the night just above Slat Mill Lock at 7 pm.

Tuesday 8 October 2002
We set off at 8-30 am. in a much cooler day than yesterday. We met boats at all the locks except Marston Doles, so we had a very good run. We got back to our moorings at 4-15 pm. in cool sunshine with bit of a breeze.
