Record your punches using MapRun. Or use honesty punching if you can’t record a GPS trace using your phone or watch.

Terrain: mixture of streets, meadows and woodland. Many paths appear to be clear of undergrowth but the planner has not checked them all, so you may prefer full leg cover.

Safety: The dual carriageway A34, railway and any mapped water may only be crossed using bridges marked on the map. Take care around cows, traffic, cyclists, other pedestrians, dogs and trip hazards.

For those coming from outside the Oxford area, this location is easily accessible from the Oxford ring road, the A4074 and the A34. Further details to be announced over the weekend.

Please sign up if you plan to come so that we know how many maps to print.
