Notes The walk is linear from Christmas Common to Tiddington. For this walk we will all meet at the end point and transfer to the start in a few of the cars, leaving at least one to enable the drivers to be ferried back to the start. Anybody not keen on acting as a taxi please let me know. This is a lovely walk passing through the villages of Pyrton and Tetsworth and hamlets of Adwell and Rycote - famous for its Chapel.
