It may be September, but this was a glorious morning - warm with the sun shining from a cloudless sky. A narrowboat prepares to enter Napton Bottom Lock on the Oxford Canal, a flight of nine locks stretched across about two miles. The building on the immediate left incorporates a toilet and Elsan disposal point provided for boaters by the Canal and River Trust.
