Home Walks photos Archive 2003		Stonehouse and Eastington May 2003

	Margaret (in red) ready to lead us come rain or shine, and in the afternoon it did both!
	Most of the walkers had done a good 6 miles in the morning, but as it was a figure of eight walk one or two of us arrived at the pub in Stonehouse at lunchtime and just did the easy bit.
	It rained steadily for a good half hour. But we passed through delightful scenery along the Stroudwater Canal, now being restored. Here we are near Nutshell Bridge.
	St Cyr's Parish Church across the water, still raining steadily and pretty gloomy at this point.
	As you can see, the sun came out and so did the smiles once we arrived at Eastington, the photographer sheltering here in the lych gate of St Michael's Church.
	Some of us were fascinated by the cattle with the horns curling forward, and wondered what breed they were. Much brighter now.
	Waterfall on one of the channels of the river Frome. Margaret told us that the river had been rechannelled into three in this area to power the water mills. A lovely spot.
	We approached St Cyr's from the other direction and this time it was much brighter.
	Margaret pointed out the Judas Tree in the churchyard, and it was but a short stroll back from here to the end of a very varied walk.
