Somerton



Here I am Rune
Distance 9.7 miles
Total 1720 Locks 86 Tunnels
Running total mileage 2477.5 miles 

Now that we are the ‘right’ side of the vernal equinox and we are starting to get a good amount of daylight we have today made good progress down towards Oxford. My aim had been to get to Upper Heyford but we missed it by about 1.5 miles, not really a problem. Tomorrow I’d have liked to get to Thrupp where there are a few good moorings (and sanitary station) but again we might not get quite that far, so long as we are in touching distance of Oxford by the weekend we are still pretty much on track for what we want to achieve.

The days are starting to get a little bit warmer now so slightly less thermal clothing necessary whilst steering the boat.
