| Aug 11, 2016 at 21:53 | comment | added | Gagravarr | Another option is to grab 8 of your closest friends, hop into a coxed 8, and row it! Takes about 2 days, assuming you carry the boat at locks rather than waiting to go through them the "normal" way. It's a moderately popular option for college boat clubs looking to raise money for themselves or other charities! | |

You can barely heave a brick without hitting one ;-) There may be some gaps in coverage between Reading and Oxford just because that stretch is a bit more rural. | |
