A hot, humid day. We walked in to Warwick to Sainsburys for provisions. Had a leisurely breakfast at the picnic area and bought some new plaques for the Hatton Flight and Saltisford Arm.
We continued down the Cape Locks and then cruised for a short while on the contour, crossing two aqueducts, near Leamington.
We then started the climb up to Napton, which was not as arduous as Hatton Lock as initially there were gaps for recovery between the locks.
At the staircase, a boat coming down filled the lock which was set for us, and then told us to cheer up!
We decided to press on up the 10 lock Stockton Flight, which was not too bad as other boats were coming down. Took 1hr 45 m to do.
Finally up the Napton Flight (3) and turned south on to the Oxford Canal where we moored for the night near Napton Bridge Inn.
Ate on the boat. Forgot to take any pictures.
