Day 4: Letcombe Regis to Goring

15 miles, mostly rather boring.  A real trudge, and the Ridgeway was mostly flat (though elevated), with little of interest in the long distance views on our left hand side throughout the day, with the possible exception of Didcot Power Station, which dominates the mid-ground view.

Reaching Streatly (which is next to Goring, you go from one to the other by walking over the Thames bridge)
was a big contrast with the isolated feel of the past few days.  

An accommodation scare as our B&B owner had forgotten to put our booking in her diary, but all was OK and the accommodation, at Beam Ends, was very comfortable.  Excellent mean in the 'Miller of Mansfield' featuring an extraordinary Bouillabaisse (waitress didn't know what I was trying to order until I said 'Fish Soup')
