Wednesday 22 june. Scattered showers forecasted, heavy mizzle all morning instead.
A very wet slog through wet fields leading to soaked shoes. The Ferry Man in at Babcock Hythe let us in for coffee even though they were not yet open.
Slowly it became sunny hot and very humid. Lunch, picnic, at swinford lock.
Swinford bridge has legacy tolls and a lot of traffic. The toll is 5p, 20p for lorries. Naturally the bridge is just wide enough for two cars, just. Naturally buses and big lorries squeeze by.
At the trout inn, very historic, stopped and found Doombar. Of course we had a point of Doom.
Soldiered on to the Oxford canal. Some interesting Belgians we meet said it let out near our hotel in Oxford. As we approached a bus to central Oxford stopped, we got on. 14 miles enough.
Hotel is an old prison. Had to change out room as the first one was too much of a dungeon.
