Cranham and Ebworth

Tue 8 April 2008

.
Outside Cranham school Patrick greets us on a bright, sunny morning
.
.
And we head down into the valley towards Sheepscombe
.
.
A pause as Patrick waits for the meeting to come to order
.
.
And a quick look at the map with useful advice from Jim
..
.
Before we head off through the woods
.
.
Looking down over Painswick towards Frocester Hill
.
.
The bluebells starting to appear
.
.
As our way takes us through Workman's Wood
.
.
Towards Ebworth and "The Spirit of the Woods"
.
.
Coffee and bananas are taken at the Ebworth Centre
.
.
With another chance to inspect the map
.
.
Before heading off towards Cranham. The mechanism of this gate proves a bit too complex for Jim
.
.
We stop to talk to a young lady with a sketch pad
.
.
Then continue along the field
.
.
Before we take to an overgrown path
.
.
Through the valley - Patrick forgeing the way ahead
.
.
Which eventually gets more passable
.
.
Much to the relief of our leader
.
As we head across Cranham Common 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.
