Indy was very badly bullied at school for a number of years,  physically, emotionally and verbally, which eventually led to him being hospitalised for several weeks last year. He now wants to help other people who have been bullied to regain their lives, self-esteem and self-confidence.

With our family, Indy has already walked the Ridgeway, the Cotswold Way and the Thames Path, so he is used to the challenges of long-distance walking. 

The Oxfordshire Way is a beautiful, rural path which snakes across Oxfordshire for 68 miles (109 km) from Bourton-on-the-Water, to Henley-on-Thames. A very rural and bucolic walk, it crosses the rolling limestone countryside of the Cotswold Hills, passing through Shipton-under-Wychwood, Charlbury and other villages before crossing Otmoor to Studley, north of Oxford. Here it turns to Tetsworth and Pyrton, and crosses the open farmland and woods of the chalk hills of the Chilterns to reach the Thames.

We will post photos after completing each section and update our progress here regularly. Indy plans to finish before his 11th birthday in July.
