Barring the appearance of some last minute participants, looks like the weekend of 14-15 July for the walk - so how about celebrating Bastille Day with a walk+sgwrs yn Gymraeg? Let me know @cat-1 @RichardBuck @rebecca @Laura_P_87 @ramblingjohn @s-coates1 @janjones_1 and others interested
Hwyl, John

PS Donāt be shy! 
Itās usually a mix of Cymraeg and Saesneg, and plantos and/or partners (or ffrindiau Ffrengeg! 
) are welcome as well if theyāre happy with a mix of ieithoedd (languages).
PPS The route depends a bit on who can make it, where theyāre coming from and if they have their own transport - hope to post details by middle of the week
The trains still appear woefully unpredictable.
Cheers J.P.
Thatās not good news! And Iād forgotten, too, that Oxford Station is due to be closed from today until 23 July for āimprovement worksā, so itās buses to and from Didcot at the momentā¦
Iām afraid Iām largely out of action at weekends for the foreseeable - summer holidays preceded by a couple of other commitments. I might be up for mis Awst, depending on childrenās birthday parties!

Very similar deal here, Iām afraid.
I think someone told me once that there will EVENTUALLY be some time at the weekends. 
Whether they were actually telling the truth or not is anyoneās guessā¦

Oh, dear! This is not looking very promising 
ā¦
If weekends are not going to work out, though, might a weekday be a possibility for anyone??

Well, Iāve got some leave booked before the end of the school term, so I could be around on Thursday-Friday 12-13 and on Thursday-Friday-Monday 19-20-23, if any of those are any good ā but I would need to be back in time to pick up from school at 3pm.

Diolch @RichardBuck - Thurs-Fri 12-13 and Thurs 19 could work for me, perhaps starting 10-11-ish to ensure you can get back by 3pm.
What about you @cat-1 @rebecca @Laura_P_87 @s-coates1 @janjones_1 or anyone else who might be interested?
Canāt do 12th or 13th - Dot has her operation on the 10th and will need to stay home for 7-10 days. I could do the 23rd as long as Iām back for pick up! 
Diolch @cat-1 - the 23rdās a possibility then - I canāt do that, but is there anyone else who can make that date? Let us know if you can

Oh shame! Sorry - should have LOOKED at the dates better! I will do the 19th instead if Dorothy is feeling ok to go back to school - just canāt say until nearer the time.

That seems promising, then - letās pencil in the 19th then (and maybe keep the 23rd as the fallback date, if needs be) . Croesi bysedd for Dot on Tuesday!

Diolch! GULP!
Iāll ask Jo about the 19th too. 
Good idea!
This week is No trains in Newbury, so it seems we are taking turns on where
replacement buses are in use.
Cheers J.P.
At least itāll make bus operators happy, if no-one else!
Hwyl, John
Afraid I didnāt have my diary/laptop with me to respond this weekend. Weekdays are no good for me, sorry.
Hopefully, weāll be able to set up another weekend walk before too long - on one of the last two weekends in August might be a possibility, although it can be difficult over the summer holidays with people off doing other things.
A quick reminder @cat-1 @RichardBuck @rebecca @janjones_1 that we have a walk pencilled in for next week on Thurs 19th (confirmation one way or the other plus details during the week, with Mon 23rd as a fall back)
Hwyl, John
