After a couple of days near Hay Bridge I needed a shower. Hot water necessitates the engine to be run, so I moved a couple of locks down to Claydon Middle lock.

Incidentally - the house on the right in the photo is currently for sale - no road access, no electricity & no gas. I expect it will sell for a good price because of the location!

| And now we are green again! |
At last it was time to paint the side green. Here is a photo after the first green has been applied.

| Down through Claydon Locks |
We are now moving on towards Cropredy as we need water and rubbish disposal.
 |
| Old Ridge & Furrow fields abound |
 |
| Approaching the north of Cropredy |
To the north of Cropredy there is an off-side group of boats in a long-term mooring area. There are also a number of shepherd's huts as well. Most of them are quite colourful.

| The M40 cris-crosses the Oxford canal many times |

Anywhere here will do for us to moor for a few days. The approaching Banbury Canal Day means we will have to move on before the weekend but shopping in Banbury is quite high on the list of things to do.
