Hi,

What's easiest way to get to Hinton from London by public transport?

Your best bet is find your way to banbury and then get the bus towards brackley. Speak to the bus driver and ask him to drop you off outside the turn off to the dropzone. From there its a good 15 minute walk along the track to the DZ but stick your thumb out and a kind jumper will usually give you a lift from there.

Or train to King Sutton and call the DZ and see if you can get someone to give you a ride the last couple of miles

Don't sweat the petty things... and don't pet the sweaty things!
