Napton to Rugby
Winded outside the pub and returned to Napton junction where we went straight on towards Braunston. It was the weekend of the Braunston boat show and when we got to Braunston turn the working boats were using the junction to form a parade, so we had to wait for a gap before we were allowed through onto the Oxford north canal.
We stopped for lunch on board on some suitable piling further north. Then we carried on through Hillmorton locks where there were 2 volunteer lock-keepers at the bottom lock. We moored for the night in Rugby on the 24hr offside moorings near Tescos. After dinner on board we walked into town to the Seven Stars, now refurbished and selling Banks & Taylors. Then we went to the Squirrel which is very small and only had one interesting guest beer. Finally we went to the Merchants.
