Re: The Oxford Canal
Thank you for the clarification.
However when walking on tow paths I have come across stiles and swing gates designed to stop off road motorbikes, so smooth progress on a bicycle may be difficult in places

Re: The Oxford Canal
A quick look on OS maps and the Oxford Canal Path north of Oxford all seems to be Public Footpath, so a No-No for cycling unless I have got something wrong ?

WTD : Garmin (possible Etrex or similar)
My Etrex 30x, bought on here a while ago is failing at the rubber power button and might leak in the next downpour.
