southcotswoldramblers.org.uk Brokenborough - horse country 19 March 2008 . |
||
| Jacqui
leads us from the Rose and Crown at Brokenborough - yes another pub car
park! . . |
|||
| Our
route takes us to a narrow footbridge . . |
|||
| Over
our first river Avon . . |
|||

|||
| Then
the uphill part of the walk . . |
|||
| And
across a few fields . . |
|||
| Before
we catch sight of our second river Avon . . |
|||
| Now
forestry work and new fencing tell us we are in the Estcourt Estate
. . |
|||
| They
even have their own Sugar Loaf . . |
|||
| More
grassy tracks make walking easy . . |
|||
| Look
Guv if you just banged a couple of nails in the bottom of your boot you
wouldn't have to keep tying your laces . . |
|||
| We
continue across the Estate . . |
|||
| Eventually
reaching Shipton Moyne Church . . |
|||
| Where
we stop for coffee - mind what you do with the chicken bone Allen . . |
|||
| And
the ladies have grabbed the only seat . . |
|||
| We
cross more fields . . |
|||
| Before
we have to take to a stream . . |
|||
| Mike
tests the depth before taking the plunge . . |
|||
| And
we cross another bridge - probably another Avon . . |
|||
| Then
a short step over the fields back to Brokenborough and a pub lunch for
some. . |

| 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. | |||
