Dursley and Waterley Bottom -
January 2004

Scroll down for an amazing panoramic view
Anne takes us on a very cool morning up hill from Dursley.
We are soon warm as we pause to catch up half way up.
Ready to go again.
The sun shines gloriously as we walk through the nature reserve at Breakheart Quarry.
We start to descend into Waterley Bottom.
It is quite steep so we take it carefully.
The view opens up.
After a walk along the floor of the valley, there is the inevitable climb up again.
More woods as we return to Dursley. All the leaves have the advantage of soaking up the moisture for a relatively mud-free walk.
Over the houses in the distance some of us notice no fewer than five peaks - wonderful walking country. Four of them are on the Cotswold Way and Downham Hill now has a permissive footpath to the top from the kennels. See below for an enlargement.
A panoramic view.
