So we were off again before anyone else stirred. Passing a long line of moored boats, and no vacant spaces leading to the bottom of Napton Locks, being the bank holiday weekend it really was still very busy.
We passed around the hill that Napton village nestles in, and got our first sight of the windmill.

By 07.45 we were ascending the locks, where the views got bigger and better. We were soon at the top and looking at the water buffalo grazing in the fields nearby.
After the two Marston Doles locks we were at the summit, suncream applied we were ready for another hot day.
We were also celebrating out wedding anniversary and really relaxed into the day enjoying the summit views, wedding bridge was very appropriate to cruise under.
By 3 we still hadn't stopped for lunch and by now we had reached Claydon locks so we moored on the Armco above and relaxed in the shade for the rest of the day.
