Walk from - 100 Walks in Berkshire and Oxfordshire.
Woolhampton
If I'd have had company, this would have been a perfect evening. However, the power of an Internet Connected Mobile phone means that you can keep everyone updated with where you are at through Face Book places. Get told to concentrate on the caches rather than the pubs from she who must be obeyed.
This is a great walk, taking in fields, a nice little village (Woolhampton) that has three pubs - a lovely strecth of the Avon and Kennet Canal, before coming back up to the A4 where is a Chef and Brewer and at 10pm, its warm enough to eat outside.
Walk up Cox's Lane, across fields and into Midgham. Looks like I just missed out on the entertainment.

I'll have the one with the stripe please |
Come to a lane and drop down into Woolhampton on the A4. Choice of two pubs on the A4. The Falmouth Arms is famous for a relative of Charlie Chaplain shooting at his wife and then himsefl. He missed her, but suceeded with himself. The Angel has worse beer but better food (by the looks of it).
Drop down to the Canal, giving way to a train at the crossing for 5 mins. Walk past the best pub of the lot, the Rowbarge, where the allow people to camp in their garden. Looks like a great spot. Cache number one is behind a notice board.
The walking is flat and the swing bridges, locks and pools to the side are all pleasant on the eye. Slight detour for cache number 2. Criss cross the canal several times and look at the fauna.
You should see the size of the stingers |
