Why we do this No 6

A 360 degree (almost) from the roof of Brandy Pad today:

We are near Kings Sutton having failed, for the moment, in our attempt to get to Oxford. You can see from this rather shaky video that the fields are flooded. At a point a little further down the canal the River Cherwell joins the canal on the east side and flows out again to the west. The river is in flood which has raised the water level in that stretch of canal. This makes it difficult to get under the bridges and dangerous to cross the powerful flow. So the canal is temporarily closed. Fortunately there was a turning point next to the lock above the flood and we were able to turn around and head back up to Banbury.
