	Molly and Norman take us on a bus walk. We ride to Edge and then start to walk back to Stroud.
	We set off across the common ...
	... lovely at any time of year, even on a misty, moisty morning.
	The Cotswold Way National Trail passes by here.
	The National Trust keep the common grazed with cattle each winter to encourage the natural flora and fauna ...
	... otherwise it would all turn to woodland.
	In Pitchcombe Woods we come across three stages of a fungus - Fly Agaric we believe.
	Tall stands of beech.
	As we near Stroud, we get glimpses of little settlements.
	Nearly there now, and there is Rodborough Common in the background overlooking Stroud.
