One night at the top of Calcutt where we walked round the reservoir. Time now to slow down a bit. During a calm sunny day we moved on up the Grand Union / Oxford canal to Braunston. Often considered by us to be the start and end of our journeys. It has been almost a year since we were here on our way north. This winter we will be staying on the south Oxford canal.
Braunston and its company has changed during the year. The Plough has changed hands and the local shop is under new management. At least the Post Office is still there. The butcher is still operating and a hair dresser has opened. The bus service has been altered much to the annoyance of the locals. Bus stops have moved so we were not sure where to get on for Daventry! So we never went.
When we saw Tim in the marina the first thing he asked was did we want a winter mooring! It seems that many boaters are moving down to Cropredy! We stayed a few nights, visited friends or friends visited us, got full and empty and moved south.
During the month of September we broke a few records. The number of lock miles in a day and the number of hours travelled in a day. We have done 224 lock miles that month.
