Last night when we got back from shopping we found an addition to our solar panels.
After England had beaten India in the test match, I didn't mind another duck.
Today we headed for Cropredy and were very disappointed to find the same boats in the same moorings they were over a week ago. These are 24 hour moorings.
We had to cruise an extra 4 hours well past Fenny Compton to find an available mooring.
We found that the bottom lock at Claydon had metal gates. Quite unusual.
The pounds through this section were really low and a boat coming the other way refused to leave their lock until I had progressed to the lock moorings meaning I grounded not them. Very selfish.
All the other locks had traditional wooden gates.
Just south of Fenny Compton is a cast iron turnover bridge which unusually does not have any way for the horse to pass under it.
Finally we found a mooring.
Very rural but the first available spot in 3 hours.
