A smaller pack this time. I’m off to England to walk part of the Thames Path. A flat, pleasant stroll of about 60 miles from the “source” to Oxford, where I will moot (no, that’s not a typo) with a couple dozen old friends from my Lord of the Rings days. Easier than the Camino and more creature comforts, as I’ll be staying in lovely BnBs along the way! But the weather looks to be typical English rain, mist and fog…so I’ve brought my hiking poncho! I fly to London tomorrow!
