It was a very noisy night with the wind howling. The plan was to chug down to Anyho as we have a table booked at the Great Western Arms. But the weather today is cold and windy and tomorrow is forecast for much worse. So we decided to go back to the marina today and then drive to the GWA this evening.

So down the lock to just beyond the “tramway” moorings, winded then back up the lock and return to Cropredy. An all day breakfast brunch was taken as we passed back through Banbury. We arrived back at the marina just after 3 o’clock.

The meal at the GWA was a bit dissapointing. On Sunday evening they only serve “Sunday Roast” and only what they have left from Sunday lunch. So the menu offered beef, pork, chicken or lamb,  but beef and lamb were ‘off’ !
