southcotswoldramblers.org.uk Bulls Cross circular Sat 31 May 2008 . |
||
| 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 . . |

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. | |||
