Sunday Ride to Benson (lunch cancelled)
Sunday, 23 December 2012 - 9:30am
Ride or Event Navigation
By Sandford lock
Road is 3 to 4 ft under water
By coffee at Benson we’d had enough.
We could just make it – with an inch or 2 to spare
Ride report
Dramatic floods. Wiser not to carry on to lunch we thought. A picture says a thousand words, so see photos. This was the time when Abingdon road was closed for several days (not the first time, of course).
