Today we left Oxford after a second wander around the city.
We found the low pound not quite as low. It became clear that this was because water was being let down.
The side effect of this was the overflow by the lock was a torrent sending every boat at 90 degrees to where they were steering with considerable force. The boat coming out of the lock got pushed and the grounded. We made it into the lock only because we bounced off the grounded boat when we were pushed sideways.
But we got through that section.
We then moored at The Jolly Boatman at Thrupp.
But walked to The Boat Inn for dinner as it was slightly cheaper but more importantly had a better Gluten Free menu.
