At Last the Summer

23/7/2012

Flood marks at Eynsham Lock

We've had a lot of rain but it didn't get this bad!
'Goodbye Jet-stream, hello summer'. This was the blackboard sign at Godstow lock as we took a Sunday cruise up to Bablock Hythe.
Here is the crew posing at Pinkhill Lock.

stream caution
The weird thing is that the Environment Agency seem to caution us that the stream is decreasing! Here we have a sign on the gates of King's Lock. 

You may spot the little removable 'DE' which covers over the letters 'IN' - making the default  sign say 'STREAM INCREASING'.

This is not the only clever interchangeable, interactive sign that is present at the Thames locks. The 'Self-service' sign is a hinged circle, white on the reverse.

view from Eynsham bridge
We paused on our journey upstream with a wander around the village of Eynsham.

Here we see AViVA from Swinford toll bridge at Eynsham. This bridge was built in 1769
