Here I am
Distance 9.4 miles
Total 2108 Locks 90
Tunnels
Running total mileage 3003.3 miles
For tonight we’ve found probably one of our most isolated
moorings, by my reckoning the nearest farm track is about a kilometre away and
the nearest road of any significance is about 1.5 miles (both as the crow
flies). Definitely not a place to be taken ill as the only way out would be by
air ambulance! The distinctive plus side however is that it really is peaceful
here.
The mooring is about where I wanted to be since it is now
something like 9 miles to Kelsmscott where William Morris once lived so we’ll be stopping
off there on Wednesday (only open Wednesdays and Saturdays). That’ll give us an
arrival in Lechlade on Thursday and then trun around and return to the Oxford
Canal by the weekend.
Small point of interest that we have now crossed the 3000
mile threshold, still a long way to go to have travelled the entire system.
