At the weekend (Friday July 1st - Sunday July 3rd) the three of us walked from Bidford-upon-Avon (near Stratford) to Oxford. A distance of around 45 miles, in preparation for our epic sponsored walk in three weeks time.
It was slow progress in the heat we had grown unused to this year and over the Cotswolds. Nevertheless we made at least 15 miles each day with time to spare, and spent two nights in the shade of the woods.
On the Sunday, with less than ten miles to go before we reached Oxford disaster struck! In Woodstock, Ben twisted his knee and, after a long discussion and a pint, decided he couldn't go on. Well, the two of us carried on to Oxford without him.
The bad news is Ben won't be able to walk with us anymore. Instead he will assist us in the car (bring food packages etc.)
