Rail: 8.52 from London Paddington arrives Oxford 9.43. After getting off the train cross the bridge (near rear of the train) and once over the bridge leave the station by either exit. They both come to much the same point. Return trains every 30 minutes.
Car: Oxford is not welcoming of cars but there is a Park and Ride on the edge of town when coming from London. Getting in to the centre can however be very slow as can trying to find a suitable carpark more centrally.
Route: Thames footpath southwards then eastwards; Christchurch Meadow; Merton Lane; Queens Lane or High Street to Lincoln College in Turl Street. After lunch North to University Parks; Westwards to the new Observatory Quarter, Walton St; Jericho; Port Meadow

No dogs in Lincoln College.
The morning is very largely on paths or streets so there should not be mud on boots by lunchtime (for those going in to the College, but Graham will have a stiff brush!)
Those wishing to eat elsewhere will find eateries in the centre of Oxford and the occasional bench for eating own food. The Immediate environment at lunchtime is largely urban.
