As aways the eight walks in July will be led by volunteer trained leaders, with whom walkers must register 5 - 10 minutes before the starts. Each risk - assessed, exercise - paced, walk is planned to take about an hour. Walkers should be sure that their footwear and clothing will cope with the day's weather and ground condi- tions. Also, carrying a bottle of drinking water is recommended, in case of dehydration. There are two walks from Buckden Village Hall this month. On Friday 12th July we have the Diddington Doddle at 10.00am. On Wednesday 31st July it is the Buckden Ramble at 2.00pm. Hopefully we will be enjoying some lovely summer weather so please remember a hat and water bottle. To ensure that you always have current information about the walks, please pick up a full information leaflet from the May- field Surgery or the Library. Also available from walk leaders.
