The distance for the pancake race was first run on Shrove Tuesday in 1445, the current 2014 winner is Devon Byrne at 55.61 seconds.
It should also be noted that the m eadows behind the church at Olney can flood after periods of heavy rain. We hope that you enjoy this walk, please remember to close all gates after you and to take any litter home, and if you have a dog with you please have a lead handy, as there may be sheep and cattle and possibly horses in the fields.

The idea behind these occasional walks is to encourage us to visit our neighbouring villages and to enjoy their surrounding countryside. The different seasons can greatly effect the scenery, with delightful flowers in the meadows and woodlands in spring time, wild fruit in autumn and crisp clear frosty days in winter can often increase the distance you can see as well as blowing away those winter cobwebs.
Reversing the walks can also give different views that you might miss in one direction and adds another walk to your repertoire.
The walks can be traced using the Ordnance Survey Explorer Maps No 207/208/192 which contain a wealth of information for planning walks within the Phonebox catchment area.
