The link to Garmin tracker was in my inbox before I started breakfast at 8am.
By the time I'd finished breakfast and was back in my room, TheD had completed over 7 miles and was navigating her way through the lakes 17 miles west of Lechlade.
SIL took part in a parkrun in Oxford, and, by 11am, we were having morinng tea in The Swan Hotel.

Just before TheD arrived for a late(ish) lunch, I took a walk in the Riverside Park Lechlade.
The footpath here is part of the Thames Path.
There was a gypsy caravan of the old-fashioned variety in the car park. As I crossed the fields to the footpath, I cam across this poor fellow, tethered and alone apart from a half-full water bucket.

I then set off for the next destination point on the journey, stopping briefly for a light lunch.
By the time I reached my hotel in Oxford, TheD had arrived, muddy, but safe, at the Swan.
After the game |
From my hotel window, I can look directly into Oxford United's pitch.
Despite the proximity of the stadium, there was no noise in my room before, during, or after the match
I wonder why the floodlights are on? |
Pity I can't see either goalpost.
Tomorrow I am on tracking-duty again. I will have to stay in the hotel as my smartphone isn't able to connect to the website without wifi for some unknown reason. (Yes, I have data-enabled)
