                                                                     WALKING GROUP

 

The group meets twice a month, for a healthy walk in the Oxfordshire countryside. In order to get a variety of views, members are encouraged to select and lead walks. Where possible, they finish with a visit to a local pub for well-deserved refreshments. Walking boots are always recommended.

 

Number of Members - 21

 

Meeting Dates: The second and fourth Friday of every month

Organising walks during the winter months can be precarious. However, our Walking Group had luck on their side at their first outing for 2024. They walked to Wolvercote in perfect winter sunshine and enjoyed lunch at The Plough Inn.

The Walking Group had their last walk for 2023 on 24th November 2023, when twelve members walked along the towpath, finishing with a lovely lunch at the Plough in Wolvercote.
