What we’re about
This is a walking group which welcomes everyone, but particularly single people who do not like to walk alone and who often feel uncomfortable in groups full of couples and families. Walkers must be over 16 years old.
We are mainly based in mid and west Oxfordshire and try to organise activities across the county (and sometimes further afield).
It is advisable to have your own transport as offers for lifts can not be guaranteed.
The walks take place on Sundays, or occasionally Saturday. Walks are generally between 4 and 11 miles in length, and in the summer we try to put on shorter evening walks. We usually go to a pub for drinks after the walk and occasionally organise lunch after the walk. Please note, numbers for lunch are usually limited.
Well-behaved dogs are welcome on the walks but must be kept on a lead around any animals and on roads, as well as when asked to do so.
Walking Safety: Walking is a great way to keep fit and generally very safe; however it does contain an element of risk. Before going on any of these walks you need to be reasonably fit and be prepared to be responsible for your own safety. The group walks at a reasonable pace - about 2-3 mph and you must be able to keep up to ensure that group is able to stay together. You must wear appropriate clothing such as proper walking boots, warm and wet weather clothing and carry sufficient food and water.
Please note that everyone walks at their own risk and WOW takes no responsibility for any accidents that might happen during one of our events.
