Overview

Jericho to Mesopotamia via the Thames and green spaces. Few stiles, largely flat. The walk leader will be travelling by S4 bus from Banbury, which is due to arrive at the meeting point only shortly before 10, hence a slightly later than usual start time. Possible brief cafe stop. Those who prefer a shorter walk will have several options to make their own way back to the city centre. A joint walk with Banbury and North Oxfordshire Group. BNO Walk Leader SC 07952 547125
