southcotswoldramblers.org.uk Thrupp to the Heavens 27 February 2007 Heavens Horns and Wasa Wasa is the intriguing title of Bernard's walk . |
||
| The
layby at Thrupp, our meeting place, and Bernard leads us off up the hill
. |
|||
| Looking
back across the valley to Bagpath . |
|||
| On
reaching the Heavens we enjoy the rather murky view of Stroud . |
|||
| Which
doesn't improve as we head round the hill . |
|||
| We
then descend through the woods towards the Horns . . |
|||
| Where
the downhill slope becomes very slippery . |
|||
| And
the fields are a sea of mud . |
|||
| We
look at the view back down the Horns . |
|||
| And
spot this stream cascading down the hillside . |
|||
| We
climb up another difficult path . |
|||
| It's
easier on four legs - he says . |
|||
| The
final few yards . |
|||
| And
we reach Wasa Wasa . |
|||
| Looking
back down over Stroud . |
|||
| On
to Middle Lypiatt - is the clock wrong or are we running late? . |
|||
| Going
down the hill we pass a roadside spring . |
|||
| And
some colourful spring flowers . |
|||
| And
we are now looking down into Toadsmoor . |
|||
| We
now face another hazardous descent . |
|||
| Which
becomes a serious challenge, but we get down safely . |
|||
| Passing
this house with its garden stream . |
|||
| Then
walking past Toadsmoor Lake . |
|||
| An
interesting garden ornament . |
|||
| And
a pretty window . |
|||
| As
we head through Toadsmoor . |
|||
| Passing
this woodland fungus - yes the photo is up the right way . |
|||
| As
we head along the side of the valley . |
|||
| Bernard
leading the charge for home . |
|||
| Tried
to get this fellow to join the Ramblers - might become a beautiful
princess - please post possible names on the message board . |
|||
| Now
we walk along the canal . |
|||
| With
the river Frome on our other side . |
|||
| And
pass through Brimscombe Port . |
|||
| On
our way back to the cars . |
|||

| 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. | |||
