These are the voyages of Ken, Annie and dog Peggy. As we cruise we will try and keep the blog up-to-date - internet access permitting of course. Ceilidh is a 54ft cruiser style narrowboat. It was built by J Pinder Ltd for Black Prince hire boats in 1995.

2 August 2011 - Banbury to Wormleighton
Lots of boats started passing us very early in order to beat the heat. We didnt join them. The dog has been 'off colour' the last few days and Annie cycled back into Banbury to find a pet shop for tablets and dog food. This allowed us to set off around 10.30. Lots of boats seemed to be coming the other way and not many in our direction. We passed through Cropredy for the third time - this time even more congested than before with the impending festival. Signs have appeared on the locks on the Oxford Canal will be closed from 4pm to 9am until further notice because of a shortage of water. Its a good thing that we are nearly off the Oxford. Stopped at the Wharf Inn in Fenny Compton and the 'Nectar' was rather pleasant. Finally moored about a mile north of Fenny Compton opposite the humps and bumps of a DMV - the deserted medieval village of Wormleighton.
