Magdalen Wood in Wood Farm was once part of the Royal Woods of Shotover until it was separated by the Easter Bypass. It still shares the same ancient species of trees with it's larger neighbour. Oxford City council purchased the land and woods in the 1950s. The land became Wood Farm estate, but the woods remain open and accessible.

Unfortunately, Magdalen Wood suffers a bad litter problem. We have visited a number of times before to try and help improve the situation, and this Wednesday we go again.

Please bring your own gloves. Litter pickers and bin bags will be provided but bring your own litter picker if you have one. It can get a bit boggy underfoot in places, so if you aren't running you might want wellies (depends how the weather has been in the week leading up to our task).

Meeting options:
* Anyone wishing to run or walk to the task as a group please meet on the junction of Gipsy Lane and Warneford Lane at the top of South Park at 6:00pm. * If you would prefer to meet at the task please meet us on the corner of Atkyns Road and Nuffield Road (Wood Farm) at 6:15pm. OX3 8RA should get you to the correct location.

Options are available to run between 3km and 6km in total

Remember that we run to and from the task, so you'll only be running for half this distance in one go.

This is a standard GoodGym group run. If you can't run for more than 15mins without stopping or you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact us.
