		* We meet up in Dursley . .
		A good impression of a gorilla in pain from our stand in leader, Ray, as he prepares to lead us up Cam Peak . .
		We head off across the fields towards our goal . .
		Then start to climb .. .
		That is apart from Bernard who pauses to replace a waymark - mind your thumb! . .
		From the top we have views over Dursley . .
		As we stop to catch our breath . .
		Before we head off up and along Cam Long Down . .
		Pausing at the top for discussion on the relative heights of the Peak and Down . .
		* Some of us look at the views . .
		Then its down the other side . .
		* Into the valley . .
Right down . .
Before following the Cotswold Way up to Uley Bury . .
Stopping at the top for coffee . .
We have views over Smallpox Hill . .
	* Or its official name, Downham Hill (open access) . .
	And a view down into Uley village . .
	As we make our way round Uley Bury . .
	And head down into the valley . .
	Crossing the road . .
	By Uley Church . .
	* And the pub we did not visit . .
	As we leave Uley this tree catches our eye - shouldn't it be dead? . .
	Our path takes us through fields of buttercups . .
	* And yet more buttercups . .
	And along quiet country lanes as we head back . .
	An Alpine meadow? Practising for Maria? . .
	We arrive back in Dursley after a strenuous but enjoyable walk . .

	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.
