Friday 8th January 2016. The Napton locks.

We did the nine Napton locks today and travelled about 2.5 miles.  It was a beautiful day, chilly but dry and with some blue skies. The countryside around us was glorious and as we gradually went up the locks the hill and village of Napton gradually emerged behind us.

The locks were single and easy for scaredy-cats, adding even more joy to Jo's day.

We moored in the latish afternoon in the middle of nowhere. While we walked Scooby we watched the sun go down among pink and orange skies. A little bit of proper canal boating and a lovely day!
