The thought is that we set off from St Bartholomew\u2019s Church and make our way to St Mary\u2019s Church Cogges, and then on to the Methodist Church (High Street, Witney).

I am aware that the distance might very well be daunting for some of us, so there are return options on the table: we return to Ducklington by the way we walked, or travel by Bus X15 or 19 to return home. A further option is to join the Striders in visiting the other participating Witney Churches. The St Bartholomew\u2019s-St Mary\u2019s Cogges-St Mary\u2019s Witney loop is reported to be a five miler.<\/p>\n<p>May I encourage our walking group members to take one of the Ride and Stride sponsorship forms, gain sponsorship and secure funds for the Oxfordshire Historic Churches Trust and, and to boot, some monetary benefit for St Bartholomew\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>Please invite folk who don\u2019t normally attend church to clock the miles with us.<\/p>\n<p>Alison and I are planning to do a recce of the route, and provide closer details within the next week or two.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The next outing for our walking group will be on Saturday, 13th September.
