Walking in Berkshire, Oxfordshire and the Thames Valley
The Walks Programme for December 2014 to March 2015 has been added to the website and the Social Events and Reports pages have been updated.
Please note that we have temporarily removed the Forthcoming Events list that appears on the right of all pages due to a technical problem. Until this is resolved you can see a list of the forthcoming events by going to the Events Calendar page and pressing the Agenda tab.

SONNING
The road works in 2014 only REPAIRED the flood damage. If funding becomes available there are plans to carry out more work in the future to raise the road above the flood level.

Work is currently being carried out on Reading Bridge which may lead to congestion. This is not due to be completed until Summer 2015.
Our Walks Programme listing walks for the following four months is published in November, March and July along with the Newsletter. These are emailed or posted to Pang Valley members.
Because of mud, water & fallen trees the walk on Wednesday 26 November 2014 has had to be reduced to 5 miles and re-routed through Calleva, Nine Acre Copse, The Devil’s Highway & Park Pale. There will be some quiet road sections, 1 stile, & some not too muddy stretches.
PLEASE NOTE: The start of the walk on WEDNESDAY 29 OCTOBER 2014 has been changed from AMBURY ROAD to the BELL PUBLIC HOUSE (SU653661) in Aldworth Village due to rutting, mud and flooding getting to the original start.
This should have referred to the walk on 28 September. My apologies to anyone who was inconvenienced by this error.
