So after a couple of days in Banbury we move on towards
Oxford having stocked up on fuel (95 litres) and water. Have to say that the
central canal basin in Banbury is very pleasant and does credit to Tom Rolt who
effectively started the recreational use of the canals in the UK since that was
where he started out in his converted Shoppie Fly ‘Cressie’ in 1939. His
actions eventually led to the creation of the Inland Waterways Association and
the excellent canals that we all enjoy today.
When I get to download the photos taken in Banbury I’ll upload
them to the blog.
