		After leaving the Tesco car park we head through the centre of Stow . .
		* Including this narrowest of alleys . .
		* Graham knows where he is going . .
		Our path now taking us through a peaceful cemetery .. .
		Then down the hill . .
		An American flag! Have we come too far? . .
		* It's a warm day . .
		Graham, our leader, lets us pause at this old mill, before we head off across the fields . .
		Mike looking suspiciously at a muddy patch. The more cautious finding a way round . .
		Buttercups still going strong . .
		As we head along the river . .
		Into Upper Slaughter . .
Pausing at the church . .
Before climbing the hill out of the village . .
We look down over the Windrush valley . .
Glad there is a strong gate between me and him . .
	* Later we read about Englsh Longhorns and discover they are very gentle! Read for yourself . .
	We stop at a ford . .
	Before continuing down the Windrush valley . .
	Along wooded paths . .
	And past these pretty cottages . .
	* And a magnificent farmhouse . .
	* A fiited carpet? Must be a party tonight . .
	We follow our leader . .
	To Bourton on the Water . .
	We meet on the green after lunch . .
	And make our way to Lower Slaughter . .
	With its mill . .
	And an old drinking friend . .
	We leave the village past the church . .
	Our visiting Aussie showing us how they do it down under . .
	A swan comes over to say hello . .
	As we retrace our steps to Stow past this large house . .

	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.
