Plans for November cruise

As mentioned a couple of weeks ago my brother David will be taking Shadow out for a week in November. It'll be his first cruise of Shadow as "captain" as he's now also a part owner. I'll be crew, along with a two of David's friends; unfortunately Jan won't be able to come as it's in term time. The boat will be at Stockton Top Marina on the GU (Warwick and Napton). Instead of the southern Oxford David's now thinking of cruising to Market Harborough and back, taking in a detour to Welford. According to Canalplan this is achievable with seven-hour days, assuming we hit Watford and Foxton when those flights are open. Now I'll ... no, he'll have to check for stoppages.
