Route description
Modified version of Kinabi1, in order to avoid walking on the busy road between Gozzard’s Ford and the junction with the A415. The alternative route uses a permissive path that runs south from the Black Horse pub at Gozzard’s Ford and joins up with the northern end of the Peat Moor Lane (public bridleway). The southern end of Peat Moor Lane is on the A415 and the A415 has a wide footway. I have also adjusted the route between Fyfield and Tubney so that it passes under the A420 using the tunnel (as opposed to crossing the A420 at the Tubney junction). I am still not satisfied with the safety of the route between Tubney and the A338. It involves walking on a B road (national speed limit, no walkable verges to speak of) and there’s no obvious alternative. This isn’t a very elegant route, especially the trudge alongside the A415 and the subsequent entry to Abingdon, but it is the best I can do under the circumstances!
