A wee reminder... Please look further down the list of posts and check out our wish list and itinerary. We still need odds and sods and we would also like people to come and join us for a day or two, either on bikes or horses (see: 'Calling all nutters'). What would be even better is if you know the area and could guide us through it! The nerves are kicking in now, we could really do with your support :-)

On my way West and to Ireland last week I stopped off in Streatley and Goring to have a look at what awaits us. Having read the description of Goring as a 'Market town' we were a little concerned that it might be a bit of a teeming metropolis. Fortunately this is not the case, although it's not short of traffic as you can see from the pics below. Actually it's quite picturesque, I just hope the boys think so too and don't attempt a reprise of Beechers Brook as we cross the bridge. This is where the Ridgeway stops being a bridleway and becomes a footpath.
We will need to go onto Swans Way and then the Icknield way. I hunted for signs for Swans Way, but found only the Ridgeway and the Thames Path. I asked a few people, including the lock keeper.... nobody seemed to know. Confused? We will be!



WHICH WAY NOW?????
Bless the little dears, munching their way through a field of daisies. They have no idea at all what's ahead of them.
