Racing for red kites and strolling for swans, hundreds of people from Oxfordshire are set to get fit for wildlife during the RSPB’s first sponsored walk around Oxford on Sunday 30 March.
Two circular routes of 5 and 8.5 miles start from Oxpens Meadow, next to the Thames, staggered between 10.30am and 12pm and follow the canal, universities, dreamy spires and green parks.
Registration is required via
www.rspb.org.uk/sponsoredwalks or Sharon Boardman on 01295 676456 - all participants get a goody bag on the day.
Sharon Boardman, RSPB Fundraiser, said: ‘Bring your family and friends along for a relaxing stroll enjoying the historical sites of the city, its wildlife and at the same time raising money for the society and improving your health.’
