24th June 2020
The day started a little cloudy and overcast, but it wasn't long before the sun came out and it turned into a scorching hot day.
We leave our lovely little mooring spot by Bridge 100 on the Grand Union Canal main line and head in a south westerly direction. There are initially, no locks and no villages as we pass through open countryside with a back drop of hills on this quiet section between two busy junctions.
At Napton Junction we follow the Grand Union Canal as it heads North to Birmingham while the Oxford Canal heads off to the South. We pick up some water before descending Calcutt Locks and diesel midway at Calcutta Marina before mooring just past Bridge 19. The temperatures by this time had risen to above 30 degrees C and we were both becoming a little over heated.  Ahead 
were the 10 Stockton Locks and there was no way were we going to manage them in the heat. Although we were fairly enclosed on this mooring, apart from a little road noise from the nearby bridge and the sheep and cattle from the nearby fields, it was fairly quiet here. We had travelled a grand total of 5 miles today.
