southcotswoldramblers.org.uk St Cyr's to The Edgemoor 19 May 2007 An all day walk. . |
||
| As
we meet near St Cyr's Church in Stonehouse Bernard outlines the walk
ahead and tries to flog some walks books . |
|||
| Then
we set off through Stonehouse and under the railway before . |
|||
| Crossing
a stile . |
|||
. |
|||
| Pausing
as we enter the woods at the top . |
|||
| Then
out onto the other side into the sunshine . |
|||
| Where
we pause to take in the views over Haresfield Beacon . |
|||
| And
down to Stroud . |
|||
| Then
we set off . |
|||
| Downhill
to pick up the Cotswold Way . |
|||
| Passing
into Standish Woods . . |
|||
| Where
we pause for coffee . |
|||
| Continuing
we pass these chaps - I think the cheeky one in front is already on the
website . |
|||
| Then
we walk through a field of buttercups . |
|||
| And
some more woods . |
|||
| Before
reaching Edge Common . |
|||
| And
stopping for lunch at this familiar spot, the Edgemoor Inn . |
|||
| Then
we head back up the Cotswold Way . |
|||
| Passing
a rare butterfly orchid - must come back and pick a bunch for my wife
sometime . |
|||
| As
we reach the top of the hill . |
|||
| And
head across to . |
|||
| Cripplegate
car park . |
|||
| Then
on to the topograph, where we encounter a strong SW breeze . |
|||
| Looking
down over Stonehouse . |
|||
| In
a sheltered spot we stop for a rest . |
|||
| And
tea . |
|||
| Looking
across to the Beacon . |
|||
| Then
striding out downhill . . |
|||
| An
awkward stile . |
|||
| Someones
getting a new roof . |
|||
| As
we enter a farmyard . |
|||
| We
come under goose attack . |
|||
| And
spot a useful warning sign on the way out . |
|||
| But
we press on . |
|||
| Now
in long grass . |
|||
| And undergrowth which requires the
attention of Bernard's stick . |
|||
| Waiting
for him to finish clearing another path . |
|||
| At
Cotswold Green we pass these ponies . |
|||
| And
then arrive in Stonehouse at the end 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. | |||
