Wilcot Woop!
My Sexy Bike in the Sexy Countryside |
We are ‘piggybacking’ Delilah (our car) at the moment so it all gets a bit complex but I normally t put my bike in the back of the car and drive on to the next destination, park and cycle back to the boat along the towpath. It’s a pain really but one advantage is it allows us advanced knowledge - for example I might cycle past a much better mooring than the area we were aiming for or some sort of navigational point (like a shopping trolley submersed in the middle of the canal). Anyway, this is what we did today - so it’s been a long day by car, boat, and bike to get to our final destination of WILCOT.
There is a pub in town just past the centre of the village (The Golden Swan) which we wanted to eat at but they were full (so book in advance). There's a huge garden, with lots of interesting places to sit and space for lary children to run off steam in - and a very 'local' snug - featuring a parrot that looks like he's been badly stuffed but I think he is in fact just very old. There are camping facilities towards the back of the pub - and if I was the sort of person who liked sleeping in a tent then this would be an alright place to do it (right next to a warm pub).
Goodnight Wilcot |
