We are, as you've probably guessed, making our way back to our moorings at Harefield via Oxford and the Thames. Teddington is a pinch point because of the tides, so we have put this into the Canal Planner and come up with 8 days at 9 hours per day. Actually, this should get us to Brentford if all works out nicely. Normally we reckon to travel faster than the Canal Planner predicts if we have locks with us and no hold ups. So today we were a little surprised that with a clear run down the Claydon Flight and no hold-ups to Aynho, we were exactly to plan. The weather was sunny intervals with little wind. We stopped at Banbury briefly to get some shopping, but that's it! Manicured visitor moorings at Aynho are sparse with only room for about 4 boats opposite the boatyard and two on the otherside of the bridge. Masses of permit only moorings of course. Good Freeview from Oxford.
