OCC Highways tried to stop us with a few road closures for resurfacing work, but luckily let us pass each time. Great stop at Farmoor reservoir with nice coffee sitting outside in the sun. Was a bit more gravelly than expected. The second group rebelled on the last leg and went back via Denchworth whilst the lead group went off-road via Hanney. All met up again at Grove.
