Richard Does Oxford

Oxford Picnic Cruise, duration: 150 Minutes (approx.) with Barb cruising the Thames. The boat, with 12 passengers, left at 12:42 PM from the river terrace of The Folly restaurant in the heart of Oxford, across the river from Christchurch College and Meadows.

We went past the University boathouses and regatta course, the Head of the River, Folly Bridge, Osney Island, ending at Port Meadow. Some of the passengers were served a picnic lunch, but Barb and I skipped that and just enjoyed the scenery.

There were two DYI locks we had to pass through while proceeding upstream.

We stopped at the Perch for a rest stop. We proceeded upstream to Port Meadow and then turned back to The Folly dock.
