Cuddesdon Walk (August 2011)

Date: Saturday 27th August 2011
Meet at 10.45am. Starting at 11.00am

Where: Cuddesdon, (a couple of miles south of Wheatley.)
In the car park of Rippon College. See it in google maps.
That's the 1st entrance to the College on the right if coming from Wheatley direction. Please be aware that there is building work currently on site. It's away from the car park but still be aware and take care. I'm afraid that there are no toilet facilities available.

The route: is nearly 6 miles long with a couple of fairly gentle uphill sections. Some of the paths are very 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're planning to stop for a picnic lunch en route so allow about 3 hours to complete the whole walk. 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.

Hope to see you there! Don't forget your sandwiches!
