Set off at 8.30 in some light rain. Didn't get to share any locks but after a while boats started coming the other way. When we got to Calcutt locks there was a day boat waiting to go up so we shared with them.
Made a detour at Napton junction to go to the Bridge Inn for lunch. The moorings there were full. So we winded and backed through the bridge and moored there.
The Bridge was holding a Summer Festival including a beer and cider festival. We got drinks from the festival bar then took them into the restaurant to eat.
In the afternoon we went back to Napton Junction and on to Braunston. We even overtook two boats! At Braunston we turned north onto the North Oxford canal.
Moored for the night opposite Clifton Cruisers. Had a light meal on board then walked into Rugby. We stopped on the way at the station to check on trains for tomorrow and book a taxi for tomorrow. Then we went to the Alexendra Arms.
