Saturday 23 May - Ian and I got up early to catch the train to Bath, from there we caught a bus to the outskirts of the city and the Bath Race Course. All this effort was made to see our favorite sport, Polo. Disappointingly the since they were exhibition matches the games were only two or four chukkers as opposed to the usual outdoor six. However, there was some good play as it was the Women's international team against a collection of male players. despite some raucous, vulgar and uninformed local British spectators we enjoyed watching the matches very much. Between games we took a long stroll through the golf course and to the Cotswold way footpath network which gave a spectacular view of Bath and the surrounding area.
