We left our town centre mooring to head South for our trip to Morrison for supplies. We went through the swing bridge and lock, then emptied the Elsan cassette at the Elsan point. We moored up and went to Morrison which was just over the road. We took the boat trolley to stock up with dog food and bottled water (the heavy items). Having finished shopping and stowed it all away we set off south leaving Banbury behind us.
The scenery soon returned and this lovely Ash tree stood proud in the middle of the field.
The Oxford has lots of swing bridges and this shows that they are a bit of a tight squeeze and the steerer needs to concentrate to get through without hitting them. Also you can see the M40 in the background we go back under it again.
This is Grants lock one of the deeper ones on the Oxford with a 9foot 6 inch drop.
The view as we left the lock.
This is the view from our mooring with a view over to the church spire at Kings Sutton. We had travelled 3 miles and went through 2 locks.
