		We set off from the Walkers Car Park .
		Towards Painswick Beacon .
		The final assault on the summit .
		And we stop to admire the views .
		To the South .
		And to the North .
		We stop to look at the stonewalling handiwork of some busy conservationists .
		Discuss the finer points with them .
		And watch them at work .
		Then on to Cud Hill .
		And the Blow memorial .
		If you look through the memorial you can see Gloucester Cathedral. Or is that a mobile phone mast? .
		A long walk through country lanes .
		To coffee with interested spectators, determined to show how its done! .
		Then off down into Washbrook Valley .
		With its stream .
		Heading home .
		Past marsh marigolds .
		With views across the valley .
		In both directions .
		Bluebells out at last .
		And the blackthorn is abundant this year .
		Photos and captions from Richard .
		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.
