The 24 Peaks Challenge

Oxfordshire Training Walk

Tuesday 10th Mar Whilst it was a quagmire on a few descents that was us scrabbling around in trees to avoid getting stuck in mud, quite possibly every single red Kyte in Oxfordshire flying overhead, and ethereal fog that followed us round the entire loop, the highlight of the walk had to be the Rollright stones. A standing stone marking the edge of a long barrow, a (collapsed) long barrow entrance, and my eye poking through one of the many stones that made up a stone circle; certainly enough neolithic monuments for anyone. Interestingly the stone circle was most similar to those found in Cumbria which felt very fitting for a walk that will help me get to the top of 24 Cumbrian peaks soon enough. Share
