The meet-up time for this trip is 0900 in the parking area by the Maintenance Yard in Thrupp. Additional road-side parking is also available a short distance away near the Boat Inn. Thrupp can be found by travelling north from Oxford, through Kidlington. A turning on the right about ¾ of a mile north of Kidlington leads to Thrupp. The walk is about 4 miles in length along water-side paths and across meadows. The habitat is attractive and varied and should produce some nice birds. Hope to see you there.
