In • Windmill Street to Sho... , I walked round the base of Shotover Hill, along a private road called The Ridings. Later on in my route, I had to divert because of water on the path. So I try again, as it's been dry for several days. This time, I can take the path I wanted to.
I start by walking from the city centre into St. Clements and up Morrell Avenue, then along Old Road to the bridge over the eastern by-pass. That part is the same as in the linked video, and isn't shown. I then begin filming, cross the bridge, and go down The Ridings as before, and past the houses. I leave The Ridings once out of the woods, go south-east for a bit, and this time, can cross the spot where I was diverted last time. So I then go south through the meadow (not named on the maps) and into Horspath Athletics and Sports Ground, and thence up and over the little hillock into their car park, and "OUT" onto the Oxford Road. This takes me back into Oxford past the Stagecoach Bus Depot and Mini Visitor Centre, and then straight along Horspath Road and the eastern end of Barracks Lane.
On Barracks Lane, I turn left just before Cowley Marsh Recreation Ground, and go along the footpath. This is another change from the route in the linked video. The end of the footpath parallels Marsh Road, which I come onto and then follow to Cowley Road, except it's called Oxford Road here. I follow it as far as the old Regal cinema where the Cowley Road shops start, and end the video. The rest is a straightforward walk back to the city centre.
