The New Year’s Day Boundary Walk was planned for 11.30am this morning.

About twenty people braved the pouring rain, and were gathered at 11:30am. But after some discussion, sanity rather than valor prevailed and it was decided to postpone the official walk.

That did not stop small groups of individuals walking round the 1556 Abingdon bounds.

Without the Town Crier, and the usual educational commentary, they got round in half the usual time, and then went to dry off.
