I had a fairly good ride down to Oxford sticking mostly to small back roads and only straying onto main roads a couple of times for short periods, I stumbled across the Northampton arm of the Grand Union canal and used that to get away from a main road and found a great camping spot next to some locks a few miles down the main canal.
The mistake I did make was not bringing my well worn in Brooks saddle and the skinny sports model fitted left me developing a blister right where you don't want one so it was the train home after Oxford, Brooks now fitted and problem fixed.
