Tackley

Here I am Rune

Distance 4.7 miles

Total 2130 Locks  90 Tunnels

Running total mileage 3052.5 miles

I think we may need to make a bit more effort tomorrow since today we have only done just under 5 miles and it is still 15.5 miles to Banbury, we need to cover at least half of that distance tomorrow as I’d like to be in Banbury by Thursday. There is a Canal Day in Banbury on Sunday and if we are too late getting there (Friday) the likelihood is that there will be no moorings left.

Part of the delay today was a queue at Pigeons Lock but that is just one of the things that happens and not worth getting excited about. We could have pressed on a bit further but it may have entailed going north of Lower Heyford which would have taken us up to about 4.45pm or 5pm by which time I’d rather be moored for the day.
