I'm doing 31 things
Missed a bus connection from a ferry. Would have been a two hour wait, but decided to give hitching a go. The first car stopped and gave me a ride to my destination. Would try again.

Closure 
How I did it: Tolkiens grave is located in Wolvercote Cemetery in North Oxford. To find it you just need to walk north up Banbury Road.

I don’t really have a track nearby so I’m gonna have to try and do this on a marked out course. I think a 5 min mile is achievable, even if it is a pretty quick pace.

Tips:
Sign up early, once you have a deadline you have to train.
