		John turns on his GPS in the car park of the Black Horse at Cranham .
		And listens to Keith (2nd on right) outlining the route .
		We set off across the common .
		The Black Horse now behind us, and heading for the school .
		We leave the road and head up behind the school, admiring the lush growth .
		Including a fine mullein .
		And many other species .
		A peaceful spot .
		Many mallow-like flowers here but the leaves look like cranesbill - help needed .
		Heading down the lane we are intrigued to see an un-Cotswoldy roof .
		But on closer inspection discover it is a temporary erection over a new extension ..
		We pause to admire the variety of plants .
In the cottage garden .
Keith has warned us about a narrow path with holes and drops, so .
We proceed cautiously .
	Having survived, we emerge by this fine specimen .
	Over we go into .
	A field with two horses .
	Protection from horse flies? .
	Over the valley we get a misty view of Cranham Church .
	And the cottages near the school .
	Most of the rest of the walk is through Cranham Woods .
	A particular favourite, with its open feel .
	Keith explains the difficulties of navigating in this wood, as there are many, many paths .
	Storm damage .
	We have found a way out .
	John's GPS has confirmed where we are, working quite well in the well spaced trees .
	No rain this morning .
	This must be pretty unusual, a village post office in a scout hut .
	John sees a good reason to climb a steep hill - the pub! .
	We thank Keith for an excellent short 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.
