Sir - Thank you for your generous publicity of The Seven Shires Way long distance footpath (Limited Edition, January 4). For those who would like to walk a day or half-day's section high up on the Berkshire Downs and to see the remarkable John Piper window, the Oxfordshire H.F. Rambling Group (membership secretary, Barry Ellis, tel: 01608 810758) are resuming their monthly excursions in April.

What's more, there will be car sharing from an Oxford park-and-ride, not as low carbon use as Maggie Hartford's public transport adventures, but still environmentally friendly.

Elaine Steane, Oxford
