Gooday all and Season 10 continues as Aslan and I journey south along an increasingly hot Oxford Canal, and drop through the final few locks to the village of Cropredy.
Here I take a quick look around this historic and relatively unspoilt canal-side village and also spend the night.
Next morning and due not only to the poor solar power situation, but also longterm 'financial' concerns, I decide to move on the few miles towards the large sprawling town of Banbury.

What I meant was what were the dates of these shots - since the weather is unseasonably warm I know it wasn't that warm yesterday. I know it was published yesterday and was very good, as usual. Next weeks still won't be current - right? Will it be in November? I'm seeing others with boaters having coats on and frost coming out of their mouths when they speak. Just curious. Thanks again for a great video.

Hi Betty. This particular video was filmed on the 3rd and 5th of September. As I said in a separate video at the time, I took a break for 4 weeks, the reasons for which were explained in that video and will form part of one or two upcoming episodes in Season 10. This has caused an inevitable disparity between filming and publication.

@bettywales3631 8 ай бұрын

Just curious about your weather over there. I watched your episode on taking a break but didn't realize it was in September. Watching Robbie and one more narrowboater was confusing - I try to track directions of where everyone is going as the canals are far and wide in the UK. We're in the U.S. and old - we like to talk about health and weather so no worries on stalking. @@CountryHouseGent

We travelled that route many years ago in a convoy of 3 and my friend in front kindly set the locks for me. The reason I mention this is that at one lock he left his boat like you did just forward of the lock he had left, went back to drain the water for me, this unfortunately pulled his boat back to the lock gates & his rudder (no fender !) was clamped between the gates a water pouring onto his back deck. After much effort & refilling the lock we managed to free his boat but had to stop after for a bevy 😂 to calm nerves 💕🦆

Lovely to watch and see this section of the Oxford, seeing with mixed emotions. Back 1988 we were doing the Thames Ring and starting up one morning near Cropredy my wife slipped on the morning dew covering the grass around a lock and twisted her ankle. Bless her heart our 12 year old daughter stepped up and took over as much lock work as she could. Wife by now was getting maximum sympathy by sitting in the foredeck going ouch whenever she was spoken too by passers by. We continued north and east until we made Blisworth Tunnel Boats where we swapped the boat for a taxi to Northampton hospital. Came back from there with a set of crutches and an Xray of a broken bone. Oh the fun of a British holiday. Agree with you that the scenery is wonderful

The ski areas have started to open in the mountains and the good old Farmers Almanac is calling for some decent snow for the winter season. The snow sleds are ready and all that is left to do is put the airplane on skis and sharpen the downhill skis for the fun season of winter as the days turn back towards daylight in the latter part of December. Meanwhile, a lark down the canals keeps us mindful of the joys of summer.
