Thrupp to Osney

Miles 5.5 Locks 6
At last we are on the Thames. Moored at Osney. A short bus trip from the centre of Oxford. This afternoon we went for a look round the shops and sites.

Leaving Godstow Lock

The upstream and downstream views of the lock on Dukes cut.

Nearly lost the chimney when I went to get my camera to take this shot.

Wallingford to Abingdon

Yesterday Miles 13.2 Locks 4

We travelled from Wallingford to Abingdon yesterday and had a quick look round town. There was a show 0f MG cars in the market place and more on the field by the river bridge.
We are moored in what must be our favourite spot ( we have moored here every time we have visited the Thames and stayed for several days).
We took the bus into Oxford today rather than stop at Osney and go in from there. We usually go to the laundrette from the Osney moorings but now we are more familiar with the buses we have found the long walk to the laundrette at Abingdon can be done by bus that passes both ways every 10 mins. We will go there tomorrow before moving further upstream.
