Dashwood Lock and curious cow

Neil has just started his annual Herbie Awards, his first category being "best day's cruising". One contender is a day on the southern Oxford Canal. Well, last month we had a week on that canal, and it was one of the best weeks' cruising we have had, so I won't be surprised if it wins.


Looking back at Dashwood Lock just after we had descended, I saw a cow crossing the bridge.


She was probably going to join her mates at the watering hole.


What made this a particularly good week?

  • We had plenty of time to stop and explore as we went along

  • We had guests on board for some of the time

  • We saw Maffi, Bones and Kate en route (sorry about the rather dated link)

  • We got to the very end of the canal, thus ticking off another bit of waterway


  • We had good weather
