		After heavy overnight rain, the sun shines on Allen's first walk as leader - he astounds us with stile and gate statistics .
		Following the route of the Stroudwater canal, we pause at Saul Church ..
		Then head across to the South bank of the Arlingham loop of the River Severn .
		Looking downstream in the Slimbridge direction, with the Cotswolds in the distance .
		Fretherne Church with its knobbly tower .
		Is that a squirrel up on the left? .
		This seems to be the only way to cross one of the horse jumps now that the steps have rotted away. .
		We admire the camelids as usual - think they are alpacas? .
		At the top of 200 feet Barrow Hill, we get a clear view of the Malverns .
		And Gloucester Cathedral (highly zoomed) .
		Down we go .
		And spot an Old Spot - sorry! .
And the amazing old tree still going strong .
Along the North bank of the loop .
Kathy notices some Peewits, or their more usual name Lapwings .
Nearly back at the Ship Inn we see this wonderful show of Dahlias .

	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.
