Also there is the even more dubious thought that we might get a scorching hot day and the morning might be a bit cooler.
What about @RichardBuck, @chris-roberts, @ruth-connor who also ticked 22nd? Any preference?
I might, just might, be bold and get the train to Oxford on Wed 12th if that walk goes ahead.
Iām happy for a morning walk. But the day is free so I am easy going. I think @heather-9 will make it so our weekend will be based around the walk and can flex for those less flexible.
Iām sure that if we had a fun quiz about something like the use of the subjuctive in early Middle Welsh as we went round we could then easily class it as a sporting eventā¦
Right. Weather permitting of course. 10:30 am on 22 August by the approach road to Radley Station. There is a bus stop, also maybe 3-4 parking spaces in the gap in the yellow lines unless the commuters are back. The car park is up by the church and school, not too far away. If I remember correctly, there are no stiles and just one gate on the route. I think it may be a kissing gate, but between us we should be able to lift a pushchair over the top. Bike racks are by the station if anyone is energetic enough to use one.

Diolch@Betterlatethan - that seems to be Radley sorted for Sat 22nd.
For Wed 12th in Oxford we potentially have @Betterlatethan@bethan-williams-1@chris-roberts@owen-mcknight@RichardBuck and me. Let me know if you could make it if we were to meet up at Port Meadow at, say, 10:30 (that would clash with the Zoom meetup, I know)
We could meet either in the pay car park at the southern end (or the free car park near Wolvercote, but the latter might be impracticable for Sue, Chris and Owen?)
Thanks, but Iāll give Port Meadow a miss this time round and stick to Radley. Itās an extra mile each way to get even to the southern car park from the station and it all seems a bit of an effort.
Sue
HwrĆŖ, I think I can make 10.30 on the 12th! No problem cycling to either end of Port Meadow (especially the southern end) ā¦ except for the weather forecast predicting thundery showers, but that will change by next week.
For the walk on Wed 12th letās make, then, 10:30am by the southern Port Meadow car park - so it looks as if itāll be @owen-mcknight@chris-roberts Clive and me and maybe @RichardBuck If anyone else would like to join us please do Hwyl a chadwān saff

Re tomorrowās Port Meadow walk, the BBC forecast shows the thunderstorms holding off until late afternoon (the Met Office is less specific), but let me know @owen-mcknight, @chris-roberts (and @RichardBuck?) if you are in any way unhappy about going ahead with it Hwyl, John
We did it! The Welsh walks successfully resumed today with a three-mile loop through Port Meadow and Burgess Field nature reserve. It was a blazing hot day with no shade but equally no thunderstorms! Here are @chris-roberts, Clive, and @johnwilliams_6 at the Oxford boundary marker (the far point of our walk and one of the few landmarks). Diolch yn fawr pawb!
