You can see the January walk route!

We had a great walk and a  very good turnout for the January walk despite the grey morning. 

Thanks to one of our regular walkers, who likes to walk with an ipod under his arm, you can relive the route we followed.  Or if you weren’t able to come you can take a look anyway.  Follow this link http://gps.motionx.com/maps/2ab8bc3fbacc96a7483d517e1f77a64c

No December Walk

Hello.

A bit of bad news for the planned 31st December walk.  Due to ill health we need to postpone it.

The next walk will now be on Sunday 29th January.

In the mean time have a lovely Christmas and look forward to seeing you in 2012.

All the best,

Phil.

Crowell Walk

Date: 26th November 2011
Meet at 10.30am to start at 10.45am.

Where: Crowell, near Chinnor. We'll meet in the car park of The Shepherd's Crook, Crowell near Chinnor, OX39 4RR. There is very little parking at the pub so please use the village car park in front of the church. If you're coming from M40 junction 6, Aston Rowant direction the entrance to the car park is on the right immediately after the bus stop.

Route: up to and along The Ridgeway towards Chinnor. Before reaching Bledlow it turns to go up Wain Hill and forms a loop above Bledlow. Then back to The Ridgeway through the Aston Rowant Nature Reserve. It's about 6 miles long and uses footpaths and bridleways, some of which are very muddy. Sections of the paths are very rough and uneven therefore boots are strongly recommended. The inclines are steady rather than steep but one of the downhill sections is quite steep, however it does have steps.

Lunch: at The Shepherd's Crook - If you'd like lunch make sure you give me your order on Saturday morning!

Other Information:  Listen to BBC Oxford on Saturday morning if the weather looks bad. We ask for a £1 donation to this month's chosen charity, BBC Children in Need Appeal.

Looking forward to seeing you there.
