Sunny first thing and we managed to get all the wet kit dry on the roof in no time at all. Kim & Bob packed up and we walked them over to the car at 11am to say goodbye. We set off soon afterwards to make for Napton. Napton locks 15 to 21 have severe restrictions on to save water and we will probably have to queue. This section of canal is like the M1 with moored boats all over the place too. Braunston junction marks the completion of the Leicester Ring as it is known.
Stopped at 1pm to watch the Grand Prix practice. Moments after we stopped we were hit by a big thunderstorm and heavy rain - nice timing!
Once on the North Oxford all the boats spookily disappeared. We went up the first few locks without seeing another moving boat. Moored up below lock 14 with yet another drop dead view out of the window.
