**WEDNESDAY 2nd SEPTEMBER**

Sometimes the best way to clear your head is just to get moving. 🚶‍♂️
Heavy week? Let’s walk it off. This week, we're taking a relaxed, no-pressure stroll around Grimsbury Reservoir and Spiceball Park. There’s no agenda, no set pace, and absolutely no clock-watching. Just fresh air, a much-needed change of scenery, and a solid group of men who understand. Come as you are and join us.

​The Route: It’s a flat walk, but a sturdy pair of shoes is recommended for the terrain.

​The Atmosphere: Come for the fresh air, stay for a decent catch-up, and make the most of the evening light while we’ve got it.

​No pressure to talk—just show up, walk, and reset.

​📍 MEETING POINT: Riverside Car Park, Cherwell Dr, Banbury OX16 2AY

​🕑 TIME: 6:30 PM

​New Faces: Always welcome. Most of the guys show up solo, so you’ll be in good company. 🧔‍♂️
​Dogs: More than welcome to join the pack! 🐕
​Note: This is an adults-only session, please. 🚫
​No Stress: No sign-ups, no memberships, and no fees.

​HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE! 🙌💙

🥾 Starting near the southern end close to the canal/railway corridor, the route heads north past Twyford Wharf and Twyford Mill before looping out across the fields toward Cobbler’s Pits Spinney. From there, you gently climb up onto the higher ground offering expansive rural views, before sweeping back down toward the edge of town and returning via Banbury Lane and local footpaths. We'll then find somewhere to grab a drink and a bite. 🥾

⛈️ With the forecast you might want to bring some waterproofs and boots or wellies 🌧

​📏 DISTANCE: ~3.4 miles (approx. 1.2 - 1.5 hours)

⛰️ TERRAIN: Mostly flat across the valley floor and fields, with a mild, manageable ridge incline.
