lower Heyford to Thrupp


Last nights mooring,wasn't that noisy due to the trains, but. We woke this morning to a miserable grey raining day. So off we go despite the rain and as we encounter our first bridge we stop and take on water, then we carry on our journey.

The canal runs through open countryside and farmlands with lovely views both sides, and the grounds of Rousham house, http://www.rousham.org/ 
We been lucky this journey and have spotted many birds, including Kestrel,Kites, Herons and even last night a barn owl, plus loads of farm animals and there young offsprings.


The  course of the canal then enters woodland and Pigeon lock marks the centre of the woods,then we pass Gibralta with its pub " The Rock of GIibralta "  and then onto this night mooring at the picturesque village Thrupp.

We then moor up again and dry off, saying that the weather has improved this afternoon.
