The morning was again devoted to varnsihing - this time we completed the bunk section - although one of the shorter sections it has more than its fair share of varnished surfaces! There are also lots of small doors.
After lunch we set off and by mid afternoon arrived at Lower Heyford. We moored up to fill the water tank and empty the elsan. We had to wait a little while for a couple of hire boats to leave before we could also fill the diesel tank.
Finally, just before half past four we set off again - weather still very pleasant but quite a bit cooler now.
The stretch above Heyford Common Lock has few mooring spots and so we had to continue on to the known mooring stretch just before Somerton Bridge. Alas, the trees on the opposite bank prevented receiving a satellite signal. (Note for the future: check the direction before selecting a mooring spot as it was quite different from what we had expected - the direction of the canal had turned quite a bit!)
