Home page > Walks photos <		southcotswoldramblers.org.uk Saul - two canals and a river 15 August 2007 There are 12 of us plus Kathy today and it starts raining about half way round and we get very wet - twice. Here are the rather damp photos. .
		We start our walk from Saul Church - Kathy smiling for the time being - wait till the rain starts .
		Heading off down an overgrown path .
		Through some open fields .
		Followed by stiles .
		And bridges .
		Before heading down to the banks of the Frome .
		And walking along to Saul Junction .
		Now that would make a good planter for the decking. Willow Trust boat in background .
		We cross the bridge - just about holding the weight .
		And examine Junction Bridge House more closely .
		Then walk along the old Stroudwater canal .
		Could be a spy boat .
		We spot the remains of an old lock as we walk along with the canal one side .
		And the river on the other - water has a fascination .
		Or it could be the helicopter on the horizon .
So we stand on the bridge chatting and gazing at both .
Then we head across country .
In deteriorating weather .
	To Frampton Lakes .
	And coffee with Frampton Court in the background .
	And a family of geese on the lake .
	We walk round the park .
	Sixty years ago we would have leaped the jump instead of climbing the stile .
	Still finding some damp conditions .
	It's even too wet for sailing .
	We enter Frampton, pausing to admire a thatched cottage .
	Then head through the village, waterproofs now essential .
	Another interesting village house .
	And this one in need of some TLC .
	Our route now takes us along the Berkeley Canal towpath where boat names provide some amusement .
	Or interest for Gloucester Rugby supporters .
	Continuing along the towpath .
	To reach the other end of Saul Junction .
	Then along the road .
	To Saul Church, our starting point

	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.
