If you enjoy walking and nature, whilst chatting with like-minded people, join Oxfordshire Ramblers on a led walk through the Oxfordshire countryside.

Directions to the venue
The venue is just behind Chipping Norton School and Leisure Centre, less than ½ mile from the centre of Chipping Norton. There is car parking on site. Chipping Norton is well-served by buses from around the County.
Programme for the day
The programme is being developed but we will start with refreshments from 0900. From 0930 the morning session will include several Oxfordshire County Council (OCC) officers as well as representatives of Oxfordshire Ramblers.
We hope this will provide you with lots of information about the role of a Parish Path Warden (PPW), what is expected of you, what support there is and where to go for additional help. After a break for coffee we will have a time looking at helping you navigate the OCC CAMSWeb system so please bring a laptop/tablet/smartphone (fully) charged!). If possible, please also bring a copy of your large-scale Parish Map showing the Public Rights of Way and the latest list of unresolved path problems in your parish. We will break for lunch at around 1245 - please bring your own food, drinks will be provided. There are a range of food shops in the town centre.
The afternoon session will consist mainly of a walk (of no more than 2 miles) on paths in local fields, looking at real issues and how to address them. Please bring a pair of secateurs, a pen and notebook, whatever technology (compass, GPS, smartphone etc) you normally use when walking plus appropriate footwear, waterproofs etc.
We will be finished by 1600.
