with TheD after her 37 mile run today.
Garmin tracker at Sandford Lock |
The Garmin tracking lost the signal for a huge chunk of the trail, but was OK for the last few miles around Oxford.
I spotted her jogging to Sandford Lock crossing, on the opposite bank of the river from The Four Pillars Hotel.
From there it was a long walk back along the opposite side of the river to the hotel's drive.
She checked in to the hotel just after 15.30 and asked for a pint of ale and a pint of soda water with lime wedges.
We had a leisurely lunch in the bar in front of the fire.
I'd been at the hotel since 14.00 and was ready for some food. While I waited, I'd done a little knitting, checked the Garmin, and wandered the grounds.
They're very beautiful (anywhere near a river is beautiful in my opinion).
There was a wedding ceremony scheduled for 14.00 in the riverside gazebo. The Bride was a little late and it can't have been nice for the guests sitting waiting because there was a very stiff wind blowing up the river.
The Bride finally arrived and the ceremony began.
I'm looking forward to a meal at The Beetle and Wedge tomorrow evening, with TheD, SIL, and MWNN.
