29 June, Oxford to Newbridge

From now on we are moving to new accommodation each day. Locations are too remote to work around public transport. Just have to get used to lugging heavier bags. We set off from our flat in Oxford about 8 am and head to Newbridge.

As there river narrows the boats get smaller. They seem quite happy to take canoes through the locks.

Bigger boats still make it through.

There are still some very grand houses in these parts.

This was our hottest day yet 32 deg, and sun was shining strongly. It made walking a thirsty exercise. Nevertheless we survived to make it to the “Rose Revived” in Newbridge for a cooling down and some liquid refreshments.
