Neilp, be a little wary of the directions. They don't quite match the route map. After you go through Watlington (after a very big downhill) you have to fork right. If you miss the turning you will end up on the A4074, so you can just follow that towards Oxford and turn right at the next roundabout (signposted towards Stadhampton). Or follow it all the way into Oxford, but it's not such a nice ride.
I've done that little detour myself and it's not a bad route, you get to see a pig farm just outside Watlington. Last time I passed I saw pig sex!
