Southam



Here I am Rune
Distance 6.6 miles
Total 1676 Locks 82 Tunnels
Running total mileage 2326.2 miles

We didn’t make it to Fenny Compton, after it took us until after 1.30pm to clear the Napton flight of locks I didn’t think that we would given that it is beginning to get dark soon after 4pm and we don’t really want to be travelling in the dark. We are, according to my map reading, exactly 3 miles from Fenny Compton winding hole so it should take us about an hour once we get going tomorrow.

There has been a significant drop in the temperature and an increase in the wind which makes steering a pretty chilly exercise. At the moment there is a clear sky and if it remains that way I would expect to see quite a frost in the morning. We did get a very light flurry of what may have been snow/sleet today, but nothing that came to much. The wind is still blowing strongly though.
