I tested out the Canal Planner for a trip from Napton to Thrupp.
The system notes:
"Total distance is 94 miles, 3¼ flg and 78 locks. There are at least 20 
moveable bridges of which 16 are usually left open; 8 small aqueducts or 
underbridges and 2 tunnels.
Made up of 53 miles, 1½ furlongs of narrow canals; 41 miles, 1½ furlongs of 
broad canals; 52 narrow locks; 26 broad locks.
This will take 47 hours, 45 minutes which is 5 days, 2 hours and 45 minutes 
at 9 hours per day.
For calculation purposes, this is taken as 5 days "

Now, that's a scare!  We only have 7 days for return trip from Napton Marina 
to somewhere along the South Oxford Canal and return. I thought we could 
have made it to Thrupp.

Any observations on the proposal?
