		Patrick sets the scene for what is to be a very informative walk from Upton St Leonards . .
		And we only have to turn round to see our first item of interest, a mere stone . .
		Next stop Bowden Hall Hotel . .
		And a run down on its history . .
		A glance up its drive is as close as we will get today . .
		Our next view is looking across the fields of the old Brockworth aerodrome at the new housing development . .
		Or turning the other way the dizzy heights of Nut Hill . .
		Our first and only climb of the day as we skirt the bottom of Nut Hill . .
		A sight we all look forward to in the country - a slurry pit . .
		A friendly farmer explains that we don't want to walk through his farmyard and shows us a better way . .
		While the farm inhabitants offer their support . .
		Certainly looks like a farm although part of it is Taena Pottery . .
		Yes we did see some lambs . .
Some Mums have escaped for a few minutes' peace by the look of it . .
Here Patrick waxes lyrical about a former miniature railway . .
We pass a gnarled old tree . .
And this neat cottage . .
	Di checks anxiously to ensure that there is not too much weight on the bridge at one time . .
	And here twenty plus ramblers appear to be gazing at a hedge . .
	No, actually Patrick stops to draw our attention to an old mill stream and a slot in the stone work for inserting the sluice boards before we head back 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.
