We want to include as many people as possible, so letās see what fits in with other people - if Iām interpreting @Betterlatethanās earlier message aright ā¦
ā¦ she can sometimes make Sunday afternoons, and that might well work for others as well
Saturday afternoons or Sunday mornings are currently best with us due to different baby groups. We are hoping to move our Sunday group to Saturday so that may change. Probably best to just go with the majority and weāll tag along if we can. Thanks
Iād be interested in the walk from Radley station if itās rescheduled! I find it more difficult to meet up at weekends but am sometimes free. I think itās best if you reschedule when most people are free and I will join in if I can make it! I am busy weekends of 19/20 and 26/27 Oct . Diolch Bethan
A quick memory jog about our Radley Lakes walk next weekend (Sun 20th). At the moment the BBC weather forecast for the 20th looks pretty good (although we all know that will probably have changed several times before next weekend and the Met Office forecast will probably say something different anyway ) Hwyl, John
Another quick reminder about Sundayās Radley Lakes walk - according to the weather forecasts itāll probably be dull but dry, with maybe some sunny intervals towards the end of the afternoon.
Hope you can make it - let me know if you have any questions Hwyl, John
PS For next monthās walk itāll be Sat 9th Nov - maybe a late autumnal visit to Wytham Wood or Shotover
PPS Partners and children welcome!
Hanes byr o Llynnau Radley
Roedd llawer o byllau tywod a graean ger Radley. Gaeth yr hen pwllau eu lenwi gan dŵr.
Yn yr wythdegau, roedd Npower, perchennog Gorsaf Bŵer Didcot, yn dechrau rhoi PFA (lludw tanwydd maluriedig) yn yr hen byllau trwy bibell. Erbyn 2005, roedd llawer oār llynnoedd wediāu llenwi.
Arhosodd Llyn Thrupp a Llyn Bullfield. Roedd yr ardal yn llawn bywyd gwyllt ac roedd yna lawer o adar ar y llynnoedd. Roedd Npower eisiau llenwiār llynnoedd hyn. Dechreuodd grŵp o bobl leol ymgyrchu. āAchub Llynnoedd Radley.ā Yn 2008 penderfynodd Npower nad oedd angen llenwiār llynnoedd. Nawr maeār āEarth Trustā yn rheoli llynnoedd Radley.
A short history of Radley Lakes.
There were a lot of sand and gravel pits near Radley. The old pits were filled with water. In the eighties, Npower, the owners of Didcot Power Station, started to put PFA (pulverised fuel ash) in the old pits through a pipe. By 2005, many of the lakes were filled.
Thrupp Lake and Bullfield Lake remained. The area was full of wildlife and there were many birds on the lakes. Npower wanted to fill these lakes. A group of local people started to campaign. āSave Radley Lakes.ā In 2008 Npower decided that there was no need to fill the lakes. Now the āEarth Trustā manages Radley lakes.
I had an enjoyable afternoon walking through Radley in the company of @johnwilliams_6 and @Betterlatethan. Thank you both for your patience with my simple sentences, and for accepting the ātiā forms when I donāt know the āchiā ā¦ I was impressed how far we got without slipping into English.
Yes, it was a good afternoon diolch both!
As for tiāing vs chiāing, in fact Iād much prefer people to use ti with me - and anyway, weāre all equal under the SSiW sun!
I thoroughly enjoyed that too. There was less mud than I feared, and there were some good fungi. I am happy with ātiā and with simple sentences. There is a better chance that I will understand.

A quick bump for the walk on Sat 9th Nov. The plan is to start at midday by the Trout Inn next to the Thames a short distance from Wolvercote (Port Meadow car park and buses from Oxford) and then head off to walk around Wytham Wood and back via Wytham village (pub and teashop). There should be plenty of ffwng on show and hopefully some good autumn colour. Do let me know beforehand, though, if youāre planning to come along! Hwyl, John
