Mar12 Trip - Tibberton - Thursday

Got underway quite early. We were meeting Josie's brother Alan at Tibberton, although not that far ( 4 miles &15 locks - 4 or 5 hours) we did need to get some water and couldn't see any water points in the Nicholson's until Dunhampstead, another 2 miles past Tibberton. Although there was a winding hole between the waterpoint and Tibberton we estimated that part of the journey back to Tibberton would be in reverse.

Village of Oddingley
Made the watering point at about 3pm and then took just under an hour to fill up (we must have been very low). Got back to Tibberton at about 5pm, thinking just time to get a pint before Josie's brother arrived and then go for a meal. Unfortunately Alan was stuck on the motorway and didn't arrive until after 9pm, so much for our rushing around!
