Didcot to Reading via Stoke Row

The lower approaches to the Chilterns a few miles from Stoke Row. The fields had Red Kites that were so close you could see every detail. Loads of Red Kites actually - it made me wonder if their re-introduction has been too much of a success.

The Thames Valley and the Chilterns is a fine cycling area I need to explore more. The Chilterns always involves some significant hills. Once you get off the main thoroughfares the countryside is wonderful.

I stopped over at the Black Horse Checkendon. A pub thats usually described as a 'hidden treasure'.
