Painswick circular

Wed 4 June 2008


.
It's eyes right as John spots another walker coming into the car park of the Falcon in Painswick
.
.
We head out into the High Street where Allen is in danger of getting picked up with the rubbish
.
.
Opposite us is the church with its famous yew trees
.
.
As we wait for another straggler to join us
..
.
As we leave the town the undergrowth gets quite dense
.
.
A feature of this walk
.
.
We learn the hard way to avoid our leader, John's, walking stick
.
.
The view across the valley - look out for Indians
.
.
Our path takes us down a stream
.
.
Coffee time for these happy wanderers
.
.
Our route now takes us along a country lane
.
.
Then a wooded path into Edge
.
.
Bringing us to the other side of the hill with views across the Severn
.
.
We continue along Edge Common
.
.
Picking up the Cotswold Way
.
.
Waiting for everyone to negotiate a stile
.
.
Then disturbing the inhabitants of Watership Down
.
.
As we head back
.
.

Up the hill
.
.
To Painswick and lunch at the Falcon
.

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.
