Canal Boat Diaries: Napton Junction to Aynho Wharf (U&Yesterday, Monday, 19 May, 2025)

Canal Boat Diaries

Prepare for a tranquil escape as Robbie Cumming returns with a new season of “Canal Boat Diaries.” This Monday, he sets sail from Napton Junction, travelling the picturesque Oxford Canal aboard his narrowboat, “Naughty Lass.”

The Oxford Canal, known for its winding waterways and scenic beauty, presents a different kind of navigation challenge compared to some broader canals. It demands not only skill in boat handling but also an appreciation for the slower pace of life on the water. As he makes his way towards Aynho Wharf, Robbie takes in the beauty of the surrounding countryside. Plus, in a moment of unexpected community, he lends a towing hand to a fellow boater whose journey has been interrupted by a breakdown.
