Car Stickers
A yellow car sticker should have arrived with your walks booklet;
extra stickers are available for anyone who will use more on application to Roy Clements.
Affixing: Wipe the glass clean and dry first, remove the backing sheet and place the
Sticker onto the glass in the required position and rub the back gently with a cloth to expel air bubbles.
These bubbles are apparent as little white areas and the air can be driven out by applying pressure towards an edge of the sticker.
If the sticker is not quite in the right position it can be lifted and re-fixed.

The Vale Way, a new walking trail for the Vale of White Horse
Members of the Vale of White Horse group have created a new walking trail called ‘The Vale Way’. The way is 27 miles long and links the market towns of Abingdon, Wantage and Faringdon. It was launched to the public in Abingdon on Friday 3rd July. The Mayor of Abingdon on Thames, cllr Helen Pighills, cut a cake, unveiled a map of the route and joined us on a walk to the end of the way in Abbey Meadows.
The route starts in Abingdon, at the junction with the Thames path, and then continues along the Sustrans path, Milton, Steventon, West Hendred, Ardington, Wantage, the Wilts and Berks canal, the Challows, Stanford in the Vale, Hatford, Folly Hill, Faringdon, Little Coxwell and ends in Longcot at the junction with the D’Arcy Dalton Way.
The route and instructions can be viewed at:
