Notes: After my slipping accident on 6/4/2023 at King's Sutton lock (Tarvey's Lock), I somehow still managed to take the boat and turn round at Nell Bridge winding hole and come back to the bottom of King's Sutton Lock. I was then rescued by Louise and family with two lovely dogs on the following day, 7/4/2023, assisting me back up the lock and to where they live at Twyford Wharf. Louise kindly whisked me off to the Horton hospital in Banbury. Nothing broken, thankfully. Got given a pair of crutches and need to return the following day (8/4/2023) to the fracture clinic.
