First pub we stayed at enroute to Cornwall. Just south of Oxford is the Plough Inn run by a Chinese couple with the names John and Mary(I think they picked those names!). Nice bar wth a nice mix of locals and residents. Restaurant is of course Chinese and absolutely no complaints re the food. Room was interesting with a glass door to the toilet which was see through. The bed was a four poster bed and the mattress had been previously trampled flat by a wandering herd of elephants. There was strange noises all night coming from the attic where possibly there was an animal stuck. Breakfast was not worth the wait. Very difficult to undercook bacon but my single slice of bacon was undercooked. It was meagre BUT actually I was glad to come away from the table wanting a little bit more. If I was cycling today I would be out of energy by 40 miles!!
As I type this we are waiting for the arrival of Rob with the team vehicle to convey us down to Cornwall. The start of the ride is now less than 24 hours away........
