This is Osney Bridge coming through Oxford on Thursday (6th August). This low bridge is the reason that there are no huge cruisers on the Thames above this point. |
We liked this sign by the lock at Abingdon. There was a second sign that "on leaving the lock make sure you pass to the left of the red floaty things". More or that in a minute. |
This gives a better idea of how deep it is on the other side of the red buoys. These three swam across the navigable channel and then went paddling. |
Lovely weather you're having; a bit more warmth would be nice this side of the world. The Thames was on our planned route this year; hopefully next year we'll be able to get to the UK and Jabulani again.
ReplyDeleteA downside of 'eliminating' COVID here is that small recurrences are a big deal. Yesterday Auckland had our first cases of community infection in over 3 months. Only 4 cases, but enough to put Auckland straight back into lockdown, hopefully for only a few weeks...
