Cycled from London to Oxford to meet the man who proved the ball was over the line in the 1966 World Cup, we stayed in Reading. On night one after having detoured to see Dave Gilmour’s house boat. Stanley Spencer, Rolf Harris House (from across the Thames please) and magma carta oh yeah and that big castle. </p> <p>Day two was a lot better leaving reading some beautiful back lanes, village greens and good looking pubs. A pleasant and green land.partly on this route but then you hit didcot and the big power stations now blown to smithereens </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20332#post-336541 Fri, 28 Aug 2020 14:55:10 +0000 Rosie 336541@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Oh that looks great.</p> <p>I had a total crush on King Alfred in the telly version of The Last Kingdom. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20332#post-336532 Fri, 28 Aug 2020 13:23:49 +0000 I were right about that saddle 336532@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Heh, was just about to post.
