UOBC2007 Roadshow - Sat
Well if your going to do something big then best to do something really BIG.
So the trip to Oxford took in the usually haunts, and then off to the Pitts River museum to meet up with one of the BIGGEST walkers in the outdoor world.
Meet Mr T (Rex that is) When he's crossing a field you put the sheep on a lead, not him. Not so much walking with dinosaurs, more walking around them.
Bet he was a bit of a handful after a few beers.
Scouting Oxford itself I couldn't help but notice the outdoor shop sales. Millets (80% off) and Blacks (70% off) 'selected ranges' The stuff on offer was a bit hit and miss, but no bets on which of these two establishments will be left when Black's consolidation completes. Bye Bye Millets.
Accomodation was provided by Oxford YHA. But I've much more to say on that one later. When I've cleaned the taste of it out of my mouth.
So fighting the urge to be escorted around this fair city I went walkabout myself.
To come across this strange construction in the process of being set up.
Came complete with it's own security guards as well.
Impressive.
