Day 7

13.5 mes: 33 locks!: 1 hitchhiker: 7+ litres of Pimms

We are all locked out tonight, we have passed through so many in the last 48 hours. We travelled along the Grand Union Canal and completed the Napton Locks with a couple in a boat which made it easier. Their little dog, Maisie, decided she liked the look of our boat and jumped on board to explore! That livened up breakfast. 

We carried on together to complete the Stockton lock flight. Anthony was very strong  and helped open and close the gates, he would make a great lock keeper! It was lovely to meet Emily, Anna and Adam there and to see familiar faces. 

After lunch we turned onto the Oxford Canal with more locks in the evening and then we moored up amongst some farmland. We are heading south towards Oxford now, enjoying the Oxfordshire countryside.
