Fenny Compton to Cropredy

Set off earlier today around 10am. Had a good run down the Claydon locks meeting boats coming the other way at every one. Once again remembered a great time many years ago (1984?) spent playing Northampton skittles and drinking cider in the Rising Sun pub that is no longer, just a bus stop named after it as a reminder. Stopped for lunch below the bottom lock. Carried on to Cropredy where we went through the lock and filled up with water before mooring for the night. Took Muffin for a walk round the village and booked a table in the Brasenose Arms which was advertising its dog friendliness on a sign by the lock! They had a real pie on the menu so I had that.
