		We gather in the familiar layby at Bulls Cross for a wander round Laurie Lee country . .
		And head off in the morning sunshine . .
		Down into the valley past this small pond . .
		Pausing for a rest as we reach the top on the other side .. .
		We walk along the top of the hill . .
		Spotting this welcoming sign . .
		And climb down into the Dillay Valley . .
		Striding along the other side . .
		To our first coffee break . .
		We continue through some thick undergrowth . .
		Before another short climb . .
		Brings us to a wide woodland path . .
With views across the valley . .
A pause to ensure any stragglers catch up . .
Before passing some pretty stone cottages . .
And making for our second coffee stop . .
	With a view of Slad Village . .
	Twin sisters? No, it's mother and daughter - a good family walk . .
	And one of our older members gathers his strength for a final slog uphill . .
	Which turns into a bit of an obstacle course . .
	But we reach the top and head along the ridge . .
	With views down over Painswick just before the end of the walk . .
	.
	Photos thanks to Diana (Richard was too busy ensuring everyone kept up, although he did sit down later to do the captions). .
	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.
