LFGSS Bikepacking Weekend - Sept 15th+16th, Berkshire/Oxfordshire

thanks for a fun trip, won't write a full report now but highlights included:

• finding out the pub was serving your order free, thanks to it closing down that very evening
  
• picking lots of lovely apples off that tree of the ridgeway (two still in my framebag this morning!)
  
• smooth and leafy singletrack descents around whitchurch, cholsey, stoke row, and mapledurham
  
• spontaneous field of herb in the middle of a sweet little village
  
• my first night under a tarp, thanks for carrying that spotter!
  
• the delight of carrying the bike over/around the final kissing gate, they really are annoying
  
• getting close to those weird radio transmitters in Crowsley
  
• none of my new internet friends being a mad axe murderer
