Kathy
billed this 1 April walk as "A walk for fit fools" or "A
walk fit for fools". Read on to find out
why. |

|
We
dropped down 450 feet to the vale from Uleybury, seen here in the
background. |
|
 |
|
We
crept by this calf, who was determined to stick his ground, and not run
back to mother. |
|
 |
 |
|
There
were many signs of Spring, young calves and lambs - aaah! |
|
 |
 |
|
And
Kathy found the first bluebell - extremely early. |
|
 |
|
As
we climbed up to Cam Peak we could see our next hill, Downham or
Smallpox Hill, over to the side. |
|
 |
|
It
was very blustery on top, and the views of Dursley and Stinchcombe Hill
were rather veiled. |
|
 |
|
Coming
down from the Peak we saw this footpath repair work taking place. The
path had been eroding into the stream. |

Olivia
and friend. |
|
 |
|
We
had a refreshment stop on top of Downham Hill. Here Kathy looks across
to the one hill we didn't do today, Long Down. |
|
 |
|
The
final assault back up to Uleybury.
Facts and figures for the walk. |
|
  |
|
Uleybury,
down to the vale, up to Cam Peak, Downham Hill and back to Uleybury -
quite an energetic walk! |
