Slad and the Dillay Valley

9 October 2007

Richard writes, "I think I have already mentioned on the Message Board that Tuesday's walk was not very well attended. Five of us altogether. There was a light rain for about the first half hour but then things got better but were never too good for photos. Still here are a few that came out. I think I will put the walk in the Spring programme." Good idea Richard.

The first break in the rain - we spot this flock of pheasant practising emergency take offs for the new shooting season
.
Then we head down into the Dillay Valley
.
With views up
.
And down the valley
.
We cross a delapidated bridge at the bottom
.
And head along the valley
.
Through Snows Farm Nature Reserve
.
Looking across to Snows Farm
.
As a string of race horses come down the gallops
.
As we come round the side of the hill we look across to Slad
.
Passing the duck pond at Knapp Farm
.
Heading down into the valley and up the other side
.
Where we have views across to Painswick before reaching Bulls Cross and the cars
.

top 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.
