Sonning Common Health Walks

The ‘Health Walks’ project was set up by Dr William Bird, a GP in the village of Sonning Common. The aim of the project was to improve people’s fitness, both in body and mind, by encouraging them to use their local countryside for walking. Together with Val Lunn, a local fitness instructor, Dr William Bird promoted the project which has now grown into a very successful scheme that has been adopted nationwide.

Timetables are available from the library the Health Centre and the Herb Farm, or on the website at www.sonningcommonhealthwalks.co.uk/timetable.

New Bus Service H1/H2 Goring – Stoke Row – Henley

Going Forward Buses, based in Goring, is introducing a new bus service (H1/H2) to run between Goring and Henley four times on Thursdays only. The bus is a 14-seater minibus and stops at all stops en route from Goring to Henley via Crays Pond, Woodcote, Checkendon, Stoke Row and Greys Court and accepts bus passes. You can even flag the bus down if it is safe for the bus to stop. We’ll pick up and set down at the Market Place and terminate at Henley-on-Thames railway station. There will also be connections with Reading Buses service 25 at Peppard Common Unicorn, and in Woodcote with Thames Travel’s X40 service, providing links to Reading. Full details are shown here and details of our fares can be found on their website here.

It is experimental at the moment and if it proves to be uneconomic then it will be forced to cease operating this route. So, the plea from the bus company is ‘Please use us’.

The bus company may also consider re-routing this bus, or another bus, to take in Sonning Common. If you have a view on this then please add your comment to the Peppard News Village Blog www.peppardnews.co.uk/blog/

Timetable for Reading Bus Service No 25 to Reading
