Date - 12/ Aug 06 Day - Saturday Start - 1000 End - 2000 Kiddlington Green Lock
We had a lay in this morning and only one boat past us before we set off at 10 AM. In the next hour we met 6 more and we continued meeting boats all day The river Cherwell was hardly moving with next to no water flowing over the weir. We called in at the floating shop "Pan" just prior to Pigeon Lock to buy some fresh eggs and cheese. We decided to moor at Thrupp for the night but all the official visitor moorings were full. We pulled in about 6.30 just beyond The Jolly Boatman, we managed to get within about 4 feet of the bank with the stern and about a foot at the bows. We ate at the The Jolly Boatman before pushing off again to find somewhere better to moor. At the next bridge we met a boat who exited the bridge and rounded the bend on the wrong side forcing me onto the bank on the wrong side, he was quite pleased with this maneuver and said it went much better than the previous boat he met where they bounced all over the cut. After extracting ourselves and retrieving the items swept off the roof we carried on to Kiddlington Green Lock where we moored for the night -- Brian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Visit my Web site at http://www.harnser.info Yahoo!
