ahr:102 max:136 shoes: Good Loaner Bike
Walton Street Cycles to King's Lock, Godstow
11:14 AM; Oxford, UK
12.9 °C; Partly cloudy
Rented bikes and did a leisurly ride along the Thames Path with Lynn. The sometimes muddy trail and a few cattle gates injected some challenged but the bikes had fenders, so we didn't get too splattered. Turned around at King's Lock. Checked out The Trout and Perch pubs along the way, we had dinner reservation for this evening at the latter.

Hiking 1:31:59 6.83 km (13:28 / km) +22m 13:15 / km

Tidmarsh Lane to The Perch
4:52 PM; Oxford, UK
13.2 °C; Partly cloudy
Lovely evening walk to our chosen dinner location, the Perch, W of Oxford and Port Meadow. The water in the Thames was quite high and I had noticed during our bike ride that parts of Port Meadow were flooded. I was a little worried about the Thames Path, which we were taking but here was only a short step across a flooding induced puddle near where Castle Mill Stream splits from the Thames.
Walked back home the same way after an excellent dinner of beef cheeks, a dessert of something called a "sticky toffee pudding." Turned out that the pudding was a very guey type of chocolate sponge cake, swimming in a pool of caramel sauce, topped with a dab of icecream. Delicious! A glass of sweet port went very well with it. Friends had recommended the restaurant and also suggested to take a flashlight. I poo-pooed this but took my Petzl NAO based on Lynn's request. It came in helpful to avoid the puddles along the way.
