		Tim addresses us in the car park at Cainscross .
		And we wait at the lights to cross the road .
		We pass the old Cainscross & Ebley Co-op building telling us that "Self help commands respect" .
		To "labour and wait" and that "unity is strength" .
		Then its down to the canal where Tim tells us about the work to be done before reopening. .
		We stop for more information from Tim with Ebley Mill in the background, the River Frome on the left and the canal on the right .
		And move on passing under a new bridge connecting new homes and eventually Ebley Mill .
		Must get one of those for the kitchen at home .
		Across the canal is the old Ebley Childrens Home Read More (2 pages). .
		Then we spot the imposing entrance to Snow Business (visit their website) .
		And stop to read the inscription on the modern sculpture just inside the gate .
		We cross the river Frome by an old bridge and head along the cycle path .
		To the site of the old Dudbridge Railway Station Read about the railway . .
		Another bridge to cross as we head towards Lightpill .
		Then along the cycle track .
		Heading towards Stroud .
		We walk down the Bath Road .
		Then follow the River Frome .
		To Brunel's railway arches - funny how we like standing on bridges .
		First sign of Spring? .
		Tim points out an item of interest in a book which he is carrying .
		While other items of interest are removed from rucksacks .
		As we take our coffee break .
		Another item of interest rushes by .
		Then its up through Rodborough .
		Crossing the road just below the Fort .
		Second sign of Spring? .
		And along the edge of the Common .
		To the top of Bowl Hill .

	And along the cycle track .
	To the roundabout at Sainsburys .
	We cross the road to the old Redlers factory .

	And cross the canal again .
	Into Cainscross where we spot what must be a Rambler's house .
	And outside the derelict Tricorn House a sign advising us to "behold now is the accepted time" .

		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.
