Five of us and Sid the dog, set off from St Peter's church Eynsham, the plan was to try out the route for the Gatehouse Moving Home sponsored walk which will take place on September 25th.
On reaching the Swinford Bridge we picked up the Thames Path, a delightful scenic route back to Oxford - not a hill in sight.
Kings Lock was the perfect spot for a welcoming break and as we came across Port Meadow the reward was the sight of an Ice Cream seller!
Sid kept the pace up with his boundless energy and the occasional dip in the Thames, plus a little detour to avoid the nosey cows and sheep - he's a very friendly dog!
We were fortunate to have had ideal walking weather, the threatened rain stayed away, very little mud on the towpaths, a very achievable 5.5 miles: definitely a family route.
The sponsor forms are ready, we hope plenty of you will sign up for the Gatehouse Sponsored Walk.
