| John checks
that we are all coming on this rather soggy morning . |
||
| As we leave
Luckington we are reminded that we are in horse country . |
||
| We follow
the path across fields on a damp and gloomy day . |
||
| Pausing to
examine a derelict bridge over what was once a stream - before global
warming . |
||
| An
impressive gateway - wonder where it leads . |
||
| An even more
impressive wall as we approach Sopworth church . |
||
| The village
of Sopworth . |
||
| Typical
Badminton countryside . |
||
| Our numbers
increase? No we cross paths with a Cotswold Wardens walk . |
||
| We pause to
look at the infant River Avon . |
||
| Which we can
just see in the valley . |
||
| But which
widens as we approach Sherston . |
||
| And have a
closer look at an old clapper bridge . |
||
| Some advice
to ramblers on how to carry walking poles . |
||
| A group
photo. John, our leader, second left, glad to have got us this far in
one piece . |
||
| Heading back
into Luckington - volunteers required to test the accuracy of the sign . |
||
| Still a
miserable day as we walk through the village . |
||
| Passing the
church . |
||
| Reaching
our destination, The Old Royal Ship. Make a note of that John . |
||
| Photos and captions nearly all 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. |
