Oxford Loop

Many years ago, we turned a 47 ft hire boat at the dead end of the Hythe Arm - just pulling it round on a rope.  Subsequently, we managed to turn a 45 ft boat there in a similar fashion.  Last time we visited Oxford, I think it was signed max 30 ft for turning.  Probably too overgrown and silted up now.

 

I believe when the terminus was landscaped say 15 years ago, BW also shortened the arm a bit, to create a nice area for people to sit on a bench. This may well be relevant to anyone attempting to repeat your exploit!
