Port Meadow is an area of common land in Oxford on the banks of the Thames. It is a wide open space criss-crossed by tracks, which one may or may not follow, and earthworks such as ancient burial mounds punctuate the otherwise flat expanse with marks of human history. When planning a walk a piece of string placed by fingers on a map can be used to trace out a route and estimate its walking distance - here I allowed the random fall of a piece of string to describe an imaginary wander around the meadow. A pair of photographs shows foot trails ahead, while below the string invites a different course.
