| Who
is Di photographing at the Daneway? . |
|||
| Richard,
our leader of course, who tries to convince everybody that he knows
where he is going . |
|||
| Then
we head off down the canal . |
|||
| Looking
back as we head up towards Frampton Mansell . |
|||
| We
cross the railway line . |
|||
| And
walk past the church . |
|||
| Reflections
in the mirror as we walk past a horse training arena . |

|||
| Double
trouble! . |
|||
| We
head off across the Coombes . |
|||
| And
along the path . |
|||
| To
Westley Farm - something seems to be amusing them . |

|||
| Richard
tries to find out . |
|||
| We
then descend into the valley watched by interested spectators - its
easier with four legs they say . |
|||
| Taking
to the road . |

|||
| Someone
dropping in for elevenses? . |
|||
| As
we approach the old Valley Inn . |
|||
| Garden
looks good - the arches of Brunel's viaduct in the background . |
|||
| We
stop for coffee by the canal . |
|||
| Some
watch the camera - others can't be distracted from eating and talking . |
|||
| Then
we head off up the hill through a carpet of scabias . |
|||
| Before
dropping down to Bakers Mill . |
|||
| And
back up the hill, Di taking the lead . |
|||
| Heading
for Iles Green . |
|||
| Levelling
off as we reach the hamlet . |
|||
| Where
we spot this menacing contraption in the sky . |
|||
| Then
head back through Siccaridge Woods to the Daneway for lunch . |
|||
| Duly
refreshed it's uphill as we head over to Througham Slad . |
|||
| Where
we encounter this three storied stile . |
|||
| Eventually
stopping for a break outside Edgeworth Polo Club . |
|||
| We
gallop across the polo fields . |
|||
| Where
we see some of the action . |
|||
| Then
down into the valley . |
|||
| And
across the stream to Pinsbury Park . |
|||
| Where
we look down the valley . |
|||
| And
pause for a drink . |
|||
| To
admire the stone walling round the main house . |
|||
| And
to use some of the lower stonewalling as seats . |
|||
| Before
walking across the valley and looking back at the main house . |
|||
| Where
the zoom lens shows a children's party in progress - also evidenced by
the amount of noise . |
|||
| We
follow a well trodden path . |
|||
| Which
brings us into Sapperton . |
|||
| An
amazing display of energy at the end of a long walk . |
|||
| And
its time for afternoon tea in everyone's world . |
|||
| As
we pass through a herd of cows . |
|||
| And
cross behind the Daneway Portal of the canal before returning 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. | |||
