southcotswoldramblers.org.uk Berkeley and two rivers 20 June 2007 Ray leads a 8.5 mile mid-week walk from Berkeley. A good pace is set (Bruno and Alex are present) and we are back in 3.5 hours! . |
||
| Ray
leads us out of Berkeley as we suspiciously eye the heron in the garden . |
|||
| We
are soon forging our way through dense undergrowth . |
|||
| Before
coming into fields along Berkeley Pill . |
|||
| We
pass a pond where swans have made their home . |
|||
| As
we reach the banks of the Severn . |
|||
| Where
cows graze by the side of the power station . |
|||
|
And flowers grow from the concrete of the Severn Way
Path . |
|||
| Good
job there is a fence between us and him . |
|||
| Our
coffee break . |
|||
| My
dog would like to live there . |
|||
| We
nearly get mown down by a speeding tractor . |
|||
| But
we reach the safety of a field of clover . |
|||
| As
we head uphill . |
|||
| Negotiating
more thick undergrowth . |
|||
| As
Mike comes out on the other side avoiding stingers . |
|||
| And
we look back across to the Power Station and the river Severn . |
|||
| Continuing
uphill . |
|||
| Into
the Deer Park . |
|||
| And
lunch . |
|||
| Then
we start deer spotting . |
|||
| Those
look like horses . |
|||
| I
can see you . |
|||
| We
are in here . |
|||
| We
head past the folly . |
|||
| See
more deer . |
|||
| Some
less fortunate deer . |
|||
| And
an aptly named property . |
|||
| Before
cross the Little River Avon and heading into the grounds of . |
|||
| Berkeley
Castle . |
|||
| And
heading 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. | |||
