| Lovely morning on the South Oxford |
We decided to chug on today, the sun was shining and it was
a lovely warm day. We had a later start
than we have had lately, we didn’t leave until 9.45am!!

| One of the bridges on the South Oxford |
We chugged on up the winky wonky canal and all you can see
is green fields and cows and sheep, its really lovely and very peaceful. There are a lot of bends and twists and you
can bet your bottom dollar that’s where we met boats coming the other way, not
a boat was to be seen on the straight bits!
It follows the contours of the land so locks aren’t needed and its 11
miles to the next lock when we start going downhill, but that won’t be today.
Soon we were at Fenny Compton . where we moored up
before the bridge. There are moorings
after the bridge but they were all full.

| The Wharf Inn |
We walked up to the village of Fenny Compton about a mile
from the canal where there is a co-op and houses, not much else. We walked back to the canal where there is
The Wharf Inn right on the canal. We
went in for a drink and sat in the garden by the canal. They also have a shop in the pub selling
provisions, very handy.
We had a walk down to Fenny Marina and had a look in the
Chandlery, it is very well stocked and also easy to buy diesel and gas as they
have frontage right on the canal and keep it clear so we will get some there on
the way back.
We are staying here a couple of days now just chilling out.
