The cohort in Botley saw 13 horse-riders and 12 walkers, made up of pedestrians and drivers, cover a six kilometre route around the village. 

Police support the camping efforts by following the march in a police car and attendees were treated with food and drinks from a local catering company. 

The event was one of hundreds of Pass Wide and Slow events across the UK.
