Looking to take a canal break in 2022, having last been on the canals 30 years ago up the Oxford.
Will be a weeks worth between May-September and wondering best start point (boatyard, marina) for a reasonably relaxing week of scenery, nice villages, pubs nearby. I do love locks but not too many!! Travelling from near Southend, Essex we are a 55-63 year old couple.
Also looking for guidance on best tools/apps to use, journey timers etc. to assist with choices; things like mobile apps, online resources. I'll be taking a trawl of the forum now that I've registered.
Many thanks in advance.
