Bisley and Toadsmoor

11 January 2007

We still have some intrepid ramblers in the South Cotswold Ramblers and all four of us decided to go ahead with today's walk. As it turned out the weather was not too bad - a bit windy on the top to start with but not too much rain and once we got down into the valleys it was quite sheltered. As you will see from the pictures the going was quite soggy at times but I didn't need my water wings, writes Richard
..
We head down into the valley glad to get out of the wind
.
Past a cosy looking holiday cottage
.
And along a track in the valley bottom
.
Looking across to Snows Farm and Down Hill
.
More views over the valley
.
A sheltered coffee stop
.
On the edge of Swifts Hill
.
Looking back towards Slad
.
All stocked up for winter
.
Now across the top and looking down Toadsmoor
.
Those lakes weren't there last time we came by - Eastcombe in the background
.
Another view into Toadsmoor
.
Down a slippery slope
.
Plenty of water now
.
Di lags behind in the bottom of the valley
.
Then we walk up through Toadsmoor
.
More heavily swollen streams
.
This tree has got its own water supply
.
The only way through the gate is up the stream
.
An interesting invitation
.
Nice to take a picture of the Wells without a crowd of ramblers around them
.
This chap had his eye on us
.
So did this one
.
Colourful berries
.
Bisley shop window - spot the photographer and wife
.
This is what we have been waiting for

top 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.
