southcotswoldramblers.org.uk Miserden Mystery Tour - 22 April 2006 Some pictures of Saturday's walk which Richard put on for the poor unfortunates who were unable to make the exotic climes of Sidmouth (see Holiday photos). We were a very select party of eight but the weather was kind and the walk seemed to be very much enjoyed. . |

| Our walk
starts in Miserden where we pass the War Memorial designed by Edward
Lutyens . |

to the slopes above the Frome Valley . |

| Where we
spot some new born lambs . |
||
| Before
continuing down into the valley and across the river by some dubious
stepping stones . |
||
| Then on down
the valley to Edgworth . |
||
| And the old
church . |
||
| Next to the
fiercely guarded manor house . |
||
| With its
daffodils . |
||
| Ancient
clapper bridge . |
||
| And old
gateway where we stop for coffee . |

post" . |

yet more lambs . |

| As you can see, we thoroughly enjoy getting to know the South Cotswolds. We try to keep fit and succeed in having a good old chat. If you are interested in coming with us, see our walks programme and ring the leader if you have any questions about a particular walk. After two or three walks we hope you will then want to join the group as part of the national Ramblers' Association. |
