Oxfordshire England 26 Sept

Headed out of London to explore the countryside. What a battle in rush hour traffic. Not a good choice of timing to get through the city. Found a place to stay as night closed in on me. Quaint old places English Pubs. Next day walked round Amersham before heading west. Nice riding and a wonderful bit of the country. Country lanes and villages that seem to have been there for ever. Got to see the lady on the white horse in Banbury. It was a terrific statue. Went through some terrific villages. Past farms stately homes and delightful countryside. Lunched at the Pickled Ploughman and yarned with a delightful old bloke from the local village. On to the Kings Head in Wellesbourne. It is such easy and enjoyable riding and with my rather conspicuous bike I get no shortage of people that stop and talk. It makes for a terrific bit of riding. Sorry about the pictures which I have not managed to up or download as appropriate.
