We're on the SO now, having just come south from Foxton. First time we've been here in 3 years since the boat was first put in the water at the Rock, and I'd forgotten just how damn pretty it all is. The only negative was the queue through Napton flight, but then it was a Saturday, and I dare say weekenders were flooding out of a dozen or more marinas in the area. Caveat Cruiser! We're currently moored at Upper Heyford - the towpath isn't up to much, but there's an excellent 'boaters car park'! -- Robin Lewis - nb Locksley
