The Oxford View Cones are designated by the Oxford Preservation Trust. Years ago one of our GoodGymers, Tim Lund, devised a mixed terrain loop around them all. The route starts in Binsey, Tim's childhood home, then does a full circuit of the city taking in Boars Hill, Rose Hill, Marston, Elsfield, Wolvercote, and back to Binsey nearly 24 miles later.

2 years ago we ran the loop knowing that Tim had received a terminal diagnosis and that he was keen to see his route adopted by runners and walkers. Tim died in 2023, so this time we ran it in his memory.

Lots of GoodGymers joined for different sections of the run, making it a lovely communal day out. It's a fabulous run which Tim left us, and many of us can imagine revisiting parts of it on shorter runs in future.

Thank you Tim, for leaving behind something that's still bringing joy to people and pups.
