Napton Locks to Marston Doles

Timing worked out pretty well for going up the Napton locks. Four lockies on the Bottom lock weren't at all interested in helping us up the flight, but others we met were helpful. Noted that lock 16 listed as Marston Doles Top Lock by Waterways Routes and CanalPlan is called Napton Top Lock in Nicholsons. Lock 14 is called Napton Adkins lock by WR and Nicholsons, Greens Lock by CanalPlan.

Tied up on the first Armco we came to after the Marston Doles locks. Seems very isolated
