southcotswoldramblers.org.uk Kingscote to Ozleworth Bottom 29 September 2007 |
||
| An
unexpectedly high turnout of 30 at Hunters Hall for Mike's walk given
the miserable weather . |
|||
| And
we set off in line astern down the valley . |
|||
| We
climb up from Hay Bottom to Newington Bagpath . |
|||
| Passing
the disused church . |
|||
| And
the remains of a Motte and Bailey Fort . |
|||
| Then
look across the valley to Lasborough Manor with its chapel . |
|||
| As
we walk towards Lasborough Park . |
|||
| We
stop to inspect the site of an old hydraulic ram . |
|||
| Before
going alongside the lakes in the valley . |
|||
| Trying
to avoid the mud . |
|||
| Where
there is some luxurious vegetation - rather like rhubarb . |
|||
| With
leaves starting to rot . |
|||
| Banana
time . |
|||
| We
continue along Ozleworth Bottom . |
|||
| Mike
turns right here onto a neglected bridle parh and explains the muddly
legal situation, before venturing along the muddy route. Mike is pleased
to see that there is evidence on the ground that the correct route is
being used, as described in our Book One of Walks. . |
|||
| By
London Bridge we stop for Mike to explain some of its history- or does
he just want to leave the field? . |
|||
| Richard
examines the old bridge closely . |
|||
| Then
we start the climb . |
|||
| Back
up the hill towards Kingscote . |
|||
| Looking
at the horns rather glad we did not have to walk through this lot! . |

| 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. | |||
