24th May 2015.  Grand Union and Oxford Canals

Oliver is feeling quite proud today as he managed to carry two rather elderly and inexperienced passengers from the top of Buckby Locks all the way to the fringes of Rugby.  He took them through the darkness of Braunston Tunnel, down Braunston Locks, through the busy junction and on to the Oxford Canal.

Peter and Romy were most appreciative of his assistance.

We met up with “Ben” and had company down the flight of double locks at Braunston which helped to speed up our progress.  Ben is, we believe, also a Heyford Fields resident.
