We drove over to the motorhome parking at Abingdon, and mooched into town for brunch. Tummies full, we took Flynn for a decent walk up the River Thames. With more planning, there would be a decent walk into Oxford, and a train back. Another time… Our evening stop was the most excellent campsite at Jay…

We had a good night on the windy ridge, and there was even a little sunshine in the morning. We took Flynn for a walk through Cleeve Common, where he showed his supreme skill at fetching sticks. Our path then led along Cleeve Hill to Belas Knap long barrow. Dating from around 3000 BC, Belas…

We’d planned a walk up the valley from Devil’s Bridge. We had just enough time (3h) before the rain storm rolled in from the sea. Unfortunately the rain didn’t keep to its schedule and as I was making our packed lunch the rain and a little hail started. We did all the Jones filling/emptying and…

After our night at the pub, we attempted a walk, but it wasn’t very long due to waterlogged and sheep-logged fields. I had an appointment at Whalley Warm and Dry where a very nice man took well over an hour measuring my feet in various positions, and with various different pieces of equipment, before choosing,…

We left OffGrid Power fairly early and set off North. Our next appointment is getting the Jones undersprings strengthened at Rhino Installs in Preston. We made ok time but it’s quite a long way. After the early start our so-so arrival time was about 1pm at the local Booths and 2pm at our stop for…

We felt surprisingly beany after a good night’s sleep on Jay’s & Charlotte’s drive. Matters were further improved by us eating Charlotte’s delicious brunch from yesterday, which was quite happy with a reheating. We stopped in Watlington to run various errands, and then drove to Dorchester for a fairly decent dog walk along the Thames.…
