Got up early and with the intention of good exercise we set off on a walk to the adjacent hillfort of Wittenden Clumps. The walk was - er very vertical and we needed the seat at the top to get breath back. Once the eyes had stopped swimming a gorgeous (if hazy) view was revealed. From the hillfort were views of the neolithic earth banks cutting across a bend in the river at Dorchester to form a defensive position. A truly prehistoric landscape!

| The river from the top - it would take us most of the day to reach the far point! |
Back on the boat we set off through Days lock - the wind made it difficult to get out! We kept on going all the way to Abingdon, mooring in the park at free moorings provided by the town. We said thank you to the town by having a good walk around it and visiting a couple of hostelries on the way back!
