Fine weather helped to make a Sunday stroll along the River Thames even more enjoyable for these fundraisers.

Eight members of staff at the Berinsfield food processing firm of Manley Ratcliffe enjoyed the sunshine as they followed the river for 30 miles in 1989.

They are pictured at their starting point at Bablock Hythe, near Standlake, as they set off on their route through Oxford and Abingdon to Dorchester.

The walkers raised £700 for the children’s ward and the special baby care unit at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford.

The day-long trek was organised by Syd Turner, an engineer with the company.

Bablock Hythe has a caravan park next to the River Thames.
