There's another hiatus in the timelapse record of our Thames cruise, unfortunately. Sometimes the leads to the camera come out of the (small, rechargeable) battery terminal - it's all a bit of a bodge. I'll have to come up with something better in future. So this timelapse film starts as we enter Sandford Lock on Tuesday 24th August 2010, and ends as we tie up just before Folly Bridge in Oxford.
