Great walk yesterday a diolch i Linda, @chris-roberts, @RichardBuck & Marie am y sgwrs. The sun was barely visible through the freezing fog but, together with the hoar frost in the hedgerow, this made it all the more atmospheric (photos anyone? 
)

Gwych!
Our walk on Saturday crossed over Bayswater Brook and we talked of the risk of its flooding. @chris-roberts @RichardBuck - hereâs the flood risk map I mentioned:

Helo bawb - itâs been far too long since we last planned a walk+sgwrs - down to me, Iâm afraid 
Anyway, letâs see if we can arrange another soon. How might Saturday 19th or Sunday 20th August suit people? If not, please feel free to make alternative suggestions (could be a weekday or a weekend)
Hwyl, John

Helo bawb - this monthâs walk+sgwrs is going to be this Sunday, 20th August. Timing and route will depend on who can join us so please do get in touch if you think you might be interested or have any questions

Helo bawb - just to let you know will be going to Shotover starting out at 2pm from Oxfordâs Thornhill Park & Ride, following the footpath up to Shotover Plain, before exploring the area and returning via BBOWTâs CS Lewis Nature Reserve (see

Do please let me know if youâd like to join us, or if you have any questions

PS As always, newcomers welcome! No problem if you prefer to just tag along and listen to some Welsh first!
Helo bawb - with autumn approaching and the prospect of dazzling displays of autumn leaves itâs high time we arranged another walk+sgwrs 
A good bet at the moment, with a forecast of a sunny day, is Sunday 22nd October so letâs go for that - start time will depend on what works best for most people. Shotover Country Park or BBOWTâs Sydlings Copse or Wytham Woods, and further afield, Bernwood Forest (nr Horton-cum-Studley) are all likely to be good options for autumn colour. Any preferences?
Do get in touch if you have any questions. And itâs worth repeatingâŚ
Partners and children welcome (provided, of course, that they donât mind much of the conversation being in Welsh) - also dogs if everybodyâs happy with that.
Hwyl am y tro

Helo bawb - for various reasons, todayâs walk+sgwrs has been postponed to next weekend, 28th/29th October. Keep an eye on this thread for updates

Helo eto - at the moment the forecasts for the Saturday and Sunday this weekend (28th & 29th) seem little different but, as the clocks go back on Sunday and itâll be getting dark an hour, letâs settle on Saturday and Wytham Woods. Main routes in Wytham Woods are mostly surfaced with tarmac, gravel etc whereas recent rains mean that many areas elsewhere are likely to be pretty soggy underfoot.
Weâll meet up in Wytham Woods Car Park at 12:00 (see map), but if you should need it, it ought to be possible to arrange a lift from Central Oxford.
Let me know if youâre thinking of joining us so we can keep an eye out for you

The leaves only just starting to turn today in Wytham Woods but, as you can see, the sun was shining!

- if needed it should be possible to arrange a lift from Oxford 
Unfortunately tomorrowâs walk has been cancelled due to illness, lack of numbers, and dodgy-looking weather. We are hoping to organise another one before too long.
