Willowtree is a good mooring for those on the way to London. It is on the offside ajoining a large park and recreation ground and nature reserve. The park backs onto a new housing estate of nicely maintained owner occupied houses and a nearby large Tesco, B&Q and other retail outlets. We had stopped there on our diverted re-route to London, and although a couple of days of reasonable weather with even some brief sunshine enabled us to do some badly needed routine maintenance, the wind has got up again and the weather outlook is not brilliant. So we have decided to return home as we actually have no need to visit London, rather it was just a way of spending the two weeks we originally thought we would take going up the Thames.
So we are now moored below Cowley Lock and should be back home tomorrow.
