| Descending
into Uley with its re-opened Old Crown Inn ,. |

| Over a
footbridge at the bottom of the valley . |

an anxious mother . |

| Rule of
rambling:- regardless of pace set, after 1/2 mile the rear of the walk
will always be 1/4 mile behind the front . |
||
| But we stop
on the side of the hill for a catch up and chat . |
||
| Then over
the top and down into Nympsfield . |
||
| Past the
church . |
||
| A final stop
in a field of corn . |
||
| And back to
the cars . |
||
| With a final look at the view over the vale | ||

| 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. |
