It unfortunately transpired that the alternator was not the
problem with our electrics but was in fact the batteries which were no longer
storing charge. The only cure was to replace thjem at a cost of £800!! I
sincerely hope that we won’t have to do that too often. All now seems to be
fine with our electrics as we head south on the Oxford Canal towards Oxford.
Currently at Banbury moored by a Country Park (pleasant) and
an industrial estate (noisy). Was hoping to refuel here but it seems that
Sovereign Wharf is out of Diesel and is hoping for a delivery tomorrow
(Thursday). Having looked around Banbury we may possibly stay here for a little
while as our only real future plan is to be in Aldermaston by 13th
September so we have plenty of time to kill. The wharf area of Banbury has been
developed and is very pleasant but by the time we were in a position to
approach it all the mooring have been taken, never mind.
