Leader: Sara Waldron

A lovely sunny day to begin BBN’s traverse of the Jurassic Way. Starting from Banbury, and pausing for a group photo on the canal bridge near the lock where the Way starts, we were on our way to walk our first section to Woodford Halse.

Highlights:
Walking along the Oxford Canal - swing bridges and reflections in the morning sunshine.
The lovely old cottages in the villages we passed through, their stonework resplendent in the sun.
Snowdrops, and early daffodils.
The beautiful church at Middleton Cheney.
Edgcote House with the church close by.
The barman at Chipping Warden saying “Help is coming!” as umpteen thirsty walkers crowded round the bar.
The rolling countryside with great views all around in the afternoon sunshine.

There was mud and the many high stiles that Sara had warned us about – but what a lovely day.
Very enjoyable, thank you Sara.
Here’s to the next stage!
