Calling Robhughes5000@!
You completed the Doodle poll saying you could come to the walk on Sunday 30th Jan but there doesn’t seem to be a way of contacting you via Doodle and I don’t seem to be able to find you on the forum. If you see this, are you planning to join us on Sunday?
Mon 31st Jan: For anyone thinking of joining the walk on Monday we’ll now be meeting up at 1.30pm
Just to let everyone know that we’ve decided to postpone Sunday’s (30th) walk to another time. 
Our walk on Monday 31st is definitely going ahead, though! 
After a very enjoyable walk+sgwrs to end the month there’s a new Doodle poll to help us settle on dates for walks in February: https://doodle.com/poll/uf7x52binnxcfz9z?utm_source=poll&utm_medium=link
As usual if you’re not certain if you can make a particular date, double click on the box to indicate ‘maybe’. Do get in touch if you have any questions
Hwyl a chadw’n saff

Thanks for posting the photos, Chris. What did your phone say the fungus was? I thought maybe Trametes versicolor (turkeytail) bur probably wrong.
Yes, it was a very interesting walk.
Sue
Diolch Chris - how about posting these pics on the What’s outside thread as well? They’re worth seeing!
My phone initially thought the fungus was something with a long latin name but when I checked again at home it decided it was turkeytail, and the pictures did look quite similar, so you may well be right Sue. I’ll stick them on “What’s outside” as well John.
Not many have completed the February Doodle poll so far but, at the moment, it looks like Sun 13th Feb is going to be the best day for our next walk although the weather forecast at the moment is a bit iffy. There’ll be confirmation or otherwise later in the week, but in the meantime do let me know if you’re thinking of joining us

Unfortunately, heavy rain is forecast for Sun 13th Feb, so we’re going to have to think about another date later in the month, or maybe in March
Helo bawb - if you think you may be interested in joining a walk+sgwrs (both English & Cymraeg) could I ask you to indicate for me in this Doodle poll which dates in March you will (one click), or may be (two clicks) able to join us: https://doodle.com/poll/vb6zb7tm6c34inny?utm_source=poll&utm_medium=link, diolch yn fawr!
Starting points, routes and distances are tailored to whoever may be joining the walk. And, as always, partners and plantos welcome, as long as they don’t mind some of the sgwrs being in Welsh of course

I walked in the Radley woods today. The wood anemones are everywhere and the bluebells will be flowering before too long. We went there last year - or was it the year before?
I have a different suggestion though. We have a new permissive path from Lower Radley to Radley Lakes. Locals have been walking that way for decades, but now we are allowed! Even better, the Ramblers have cleared the path so that it is currently possible to go through without using secateurs. There is still mud though, and there is a large puddle under the railway bridge. One possibility is to do a circuit round one of the filled lakes and come back the same way. Another longer route comes back by the Thames to Lower Radley.
I haven’t put Sundays on the Doodle poll because I am working in the shop all morning and am not free until about 2pm. I could walk from Radley at 2pm though.
Anyone interested?
Thanks for the suggestion Sue. I’m up for it in theory, although my availability isn’t great at the moment.
No rush. Maybe later in the year.
Sue
Sorry for my quietness recently. The new job is a bit more full on than the last one. The old one I had it easy!!
Liam is doing skiing lessons Saturday afternoons with his dad so I’m free for a change. Are we doing an April poll. I might actually get some ticks in boxes this month!
Dim probs, Ruth! Yes, a new poll’s coming - just been a bit slow in setting it up this time, felly diolch I rhoi hwb i mi !
Here’s the new poll April walks+sgwrs Doodle - unfortunately they seem to have dropped the ‘Month view’, for the time being at least, so it might look a bit odd, but it’s still 1 click for ‘Yes’, 2 clicks for ‘Maybe’ (you might perhaps have to click on ‘Edit Your Selection’ before you’ve had a chance to make any selection… Anyone know of a good alternative to Doodle? )
PS Let me know if there are any problems…
I have to admit that this has me beaten. I can’t find how to put my days in. I found a place where I could apologise for not attending…
Sue
Using a browser on a PC the view seems to change according to window size. A narrower window (or on a tablet) seems to result in a vertically arranged series of tick boxes, but a wider window changes it to a horizontally arranged series of coloured rectangles which need to be clicked on, in the same way as with the tick boxes. Hope this makes sense! And that it helps…
I managed to get it to work on the second attempt. I seem to have more availability this month.
I see - you don’t get a row each.
Sue
