I remember it well.
On the Jubilee day, Adrian and me braved the deluge to walk to Eynsham, where we sat dripping and shivering whilst supping a couple of pints. It was a pretty miserable few days.
Of course there was the memorable camp at Wallingford, where some blamed the water on their hangovers...

Had there been a Thames meeting this year, I'd have come along and spent a few days there. As it is I'm very slowly heading East on the K&A, currently a few miles west of Pewsey.
I now envisage being on tthe Thames around mid to late July, and heading up to Oxford to join the S Oxford canal. That's the plan, but I wouldny be surprised if I spend my second winter on the K&A

Cheers Pete on Cat.
