Ardington Walk - Update
Hello all,
Just to say that all looks like it should be fine for the walk tomorrow. Bruce at The Boars Head is looking forward to cooking up some lunch for us as well. We'll take orders when we set off.
Just to warn you again that we are meeting at the car park of Home Farm, which is actually a little collection of business units. It's on School Road as you leave Ardington and head to Lockinge. It's on the left hand side.
Look forward to seeing you in the morning.
Full details here.

Ardington Walk - September 2011
Date: Saturday 24th September 2011 Meet at 10.45am. Starting at 11.00am
THIS IS A WEEK LATER THAN ORIGINALLY PLANNED!
Where: Ardington near Wantage. We will be meeting at the car park of Home Farm on School Road. This is on the way to Lockinge. Link to a google map.
The route: is nearly just over 4 miles long and pretty flat in the main. The walk is mainly along quite roads but a short section was a little rough and uneven therefore boots are strongly recommended. There are also a few patches of nettles so shorts are not a good idea. The walk will be led at a pace to suit everybody and well behaved dogs are welcome.
Other Information: We plan on heading to The Boars Head for lunch if you would like to join us, as usual we will place food orders before we go. We'll keep an eye on the weather during the preceding week and make adjustments if absolutely necessary. If we feel the weather isn't good enough to picnic a pub in Cuddesdon is on standby to accommodate a large party for lunch.
We ask for a donation of £1 for a chosen charity. Before the walk this month we'll make a collection for SeeSaw, a charity that gives grief support for the young in Oxfordshire. It helps children and their families both before and after a major bereavement, helping them to move forward and to face the future with hope.
Look forward to seeing you there.
