Just for your peace of mind I can report that a big chunk of the Cotswolds was huge fun today. Worked our way from Marlow to the Salt Way then, before going through the farm, side-stepped to go up through the Guitings. Nice views from Dover's Hill, enjoyed a picnic just off Buckle Street, near the top of Fish Hill. Left the Cotswolds after Chipping Norton, a little bit of the A361 then south on the B4022, followed closely by the B4027 and A40 to Stockcross. No in-car arguments, what could be better!
