All the locks on the Oxford canal are 70' by 7' so there should be no length problem unless you've got a 72' "large Woolwich". Anyway Josher said he'd brought his boat down the Oxford before. I once moored up at Cropredy during the festival with no trouble, although "Panacea" was only 34'. You might have to moor some distance away or be willing to breast up though. If I remember correctly, the festival is on the west bank and the towpath on the other side, still there's plenty of bridges. Is your boat actually an authentic "Josher" (for non-canalcolics, a design of boat named after Mr Wedgwood) ?
