		We gather on the Fostons Ash car park in the sweltering heat of the English summer .
		And set off through the fields .
		And into a cool wood for a minute or two .
		At Whiteway Colony we pass a luxurious kennel .
		Then a colourful meadow .
		Guarded by a tank (!?) .
		We near Bidford Barns, being developed into desirable residences .
		.
		With some interesting weathervanes .
		And through a gate into the Slad road before .
		Heading down the valley .
		With Workmans Wood to our right .
		This downhill stuff is easy .
		Through the cool woods .
		And down into Sheepscombe village .
		Where we see old friends .
		We're not llamas you know! Click here to work out what we really are .
		We pass by an English country garden .
		And a developing espalier feature, which were popular in medieval times .
		Summer is here .
		We take refuge from the heat to have a break .
		Well it might rain, and it acts as a sun shade, and you can hack through the undergrowth with it .
		Into Workmans Wood , part of the Ebworth Estate ..
		And a pause to regroup .
		We look back down the valley towards Sheepscombe .
		Then walk past the ponds .
		And another short stop to chat, or reflect, or take photos of photographers .
		Before continuitng on up through the woods .
		Before the final climb to Foston's Ash .

		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.
