Shanks' Pony

So it's a two-hour walk from Banbury to Cropredy along the towpath, including a fifteen-minute sandwich break. Leaving Banbury, I startled a grass snake and it swam off across the canal. Later there was a banded demoiselle in and out of the undergrowth.

Also passed, and was later caught up by, a narrowboat called Edinburgh Castle.

Nice day for it. I didn't really know how this was going to go, especially having done something odd to my heels a couple of evenings ago,but it was entirely trouble-free.
