Miserden and Brimpsfield

9 February 2008

Some thought the walk was too easy. Some thought it was too hard. Some thought it too long. Some too short. Some thought we went too slow. Some too fast. You can't get ramblers to agree with anything except as the photos show it was a lovely day. Here they are at reduced resolution but larger than normal size - the photos that is, not the ramblers!
.
We are gathered together in Miserden school car park for an 8 mile walk round Miserden
.
.
On a frosty morning
.
.
And set off across the Park towards Wishanger
.
Then skirting Whiteway
.
.
Before heading into the woods
.
.
Where we pause for a quick break
.
.
We then follow a stream
.
.
Along woodland paths
.
.
Towards Climperwell before taking the path to Brimpsfield
.
.
Sharing our track with some horses
.
.
Spotting this good assortment of pets
.
Lunch is taken at St Michael's Church, Brimpsfield, where we sit overlooking the valley
.
.
Or find something to lean against
.
.
With the old Norman Church behind us
.
.
Then it's out through the village
.
.
And down the valley
.
.
Towards Caudle Green
.
.
An unusual stile
.
.
Our route takes us through the Park over a wooden bridge
.
.
Then down into the valley
.
.

Where we have a last look at the view
.
.
Before climbing up to Miserden passing the church on the way back to 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.
