Uley, Coaley Peak and Uley Bury -
27 October 2005
Pictures from Mike and John of Kathy's Car Walk©. At the moment Kathy is unable to walk except on the level
due to tendon trouble, but here she has found a new way to lead walks!
She leads us for a few minutes before driving to the next road crossing, having given us clear instructions of the
section in between.
What a glorious Autumnal morning.
Typical Cotswold view as we leave Uley for the climb up to Coaley Peak.
We make our way up towards Cockadilly, the path becoming very steep near the top.
We emerge on to the plateau and gaze over the panorama of Nympsfield village nestling in a slight hollow, and
the wind turbine on a nearby ridge (scroll right).
A tug plane pulls up a glider from the nearby airfield.
View from Coaley Peak on what would be a magnificent summer's day if it had not been October!
We often take pictures of the distance landscapes but this is the other end of the scale - close-up of moss
where we stop for coffee.
View of the controversial new chair lift to Uley Fort.
After walking through Coaley Woods on the Cotswold Way, we emerge near Uley Bury.
The group pauses for a group photo near to Uley Iron Age Fort.
Here Kathy joins us on a levellish circuit of the Bury. We admire the view over Downham Hill
and Dursley in the distance.
The sun shines on Downham Hill, now opening as Access Land.
Round the corner we overlook our destination of Uley village.
Autumn is approaching.
Sunny and warm as we descend back into Uley.

We descend steeply and meet up with Kathy once again at the bottom , who instructs us how to reach our cars.
Well done Kathy for such a great walk (and weather), and we look forward to your early recovery.
A view of Uley Church.
This week's red berries are - Pacific Yew (Taxus brevifolia)! At least that's what I think it is!
Non-members are very welcome on up to 3 walks to see if they like them before deciding whether to join.
See our walks programme and ring the leader if you have any questions.
