Home page Walks photos Archive 2006		southcotswoldramblers.org.uk Rodmarton circular 2 September 2006 Where have all the ramblers gone? When we turned up Tim was about to try and press a few villagers to walk with him. It certainly looked as though it would be a cosy family affair with just the three of us. But with a minute to spare two others turned up swelling our numbers to five. I think too many people listened too closely to the weather forecast. It turned out pretty miserable but not particularly wet and we enjoyed a good brisk walk over some reasonable going. .
		Our leader, Tim, puts on his boots in case someone turns up to walk on what promises to be a wet and windy day .
		And having mustered five hardy souls we set off past a well known Rodmarton landmark .
		Round recently harvested fields .
		Joining the Macmillan Way .
		And making the now mandatory stop for blackberries .
		Waiting to cross a narrow lane we come on a convoy of vintage cars .
		They will get wet if it rains hard! .
		We cross a field of corn with a well cut path .
		Then a tree studded meadow .
		A cow has heard the weather forcast and is looking for shelter .
		We come to the village of Tarlton .
		Where we stop for coffee before leaving the Macmillan Way for the Monarchs Way .
		We spot a couple of deer - but they spot us first .
		And head up a small valley .
		Across fields .
		And back to Rodmarton, and its church which has been in sight for much of our walk .

		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.
