Calcutt.

    

At the top of Calcutt Locks we could see the storm clouds gathering in the distance. I very much enjoyed strolling around the area, especially Napton Reservoir. I presume that this delightful barrel-roofed hut was the old pumping station.

Nb Oakfield nestling behind the reeds from across the reservoir.

We also spotted a man who seemed to be training his horse.

Loads of boats of all shapes and sizes past us by, fast and slow, in both directions.

Well I suppose we were near to Calcutt (250 boats), Ventnor Farm (250) and Wigrams Turn (220) Marinas as we saw the same boats go forth and back. A large number of hire boats were making the most of the end of the school holidays too.

Two more little boating doggy characters were not able to jump off in the lock for a stroke, unfortunately!
