At Radcot (again)

Here we are at the end of our walk back in Radcot which looked nice in the rain but looked even better in the sunshine.  We had a welcome cup of coffee here and then went on to meet our friends in Stow in the Wold for a sociable weekend and some tlc.

Thoughts on this Leg:

This was another lovely walk. 

Walk Tall

This walking is obviously good for Angela - she's grown! (or is she standing on a box?)

Injuries

Big problem Angela has broken a nail!  Other injuries incurred are bruised shins due to an inability to correctly judge the gap at a stile, damaged toe-nails and blisters - all easily treatable and nothing to compare with the problems in Liberia. 
We have enjoyed looking at the river as we have walked but the people in Grandcess, Liberia have to use their river for washing in and as there are worms in the river that can burrow into the skin this can be hazardous.

Nearly There

Sorry got interupted in my blogging then. It was round about here that some canoeists started shouting "encouragement" to us e.g. pointing out that Brendan was ahead of us and that we would never get to the pub at this rate etc.  People are definitely more friendly when they are out in the country.

Picturesque Scene

There is nothing I can add to this.  The photo says it all (Brendan's doing the photography again today).

Old FatherThames

Did he always carry a spade?  He doesn't look properly dressed for gardening.

By the River

The weather's looking OK today and we've got the Thames next to us.  This is what it's all about!  Well this and raising money to send children to school in Grandcess, Liberia.

Six? Little Ducks

This one is specially for Preschool.  Mummy Duck said "Quack, quack, quack and six of her little ducks came back".

Starting Out

After a lovely Italian meal in a restaurant apparently frequented by Kate Moss and a night in an interesting hotel we are ready to set out from Lechlade on our third day of walking on the run.
