southcotswoldramblers.org.uk Bisley Cake Walk Sat 28 June 2008 . |
||
| Alex
displays her medal awarded for completing the Cotswold Care midnight
walk (10 miles). She then came straight to our walk - well done to her
and the other Group members who took part. . . |
|||
| Something
to laugh at here as Richard introduces the Bisley Cakewalk . . |
|||
| Then
we head off into Lypiatt Park . . |
|||
| Before
dropping down into Toadsmoor .. . |
|||
| Climbing
up the other side with views across Eastcombe . . |
|||
| We
walk through France Lynch . . |
|||
| On
our way down to Valley Bottom we pause to eat the cakes which Di has
baked to sustain us on our way . . |
|||
| Allen
says thank you to Di (the moment caught by Bernard's camera) . . |
|||
| Full
of cake the stile seems to be a bit of a struggle . . |
|||
| But
we press on past the Old Valley Inn and up the hill . . |
|||
| Before
dropping down through the undergrowth . . |
|||
| Then
climbing to Westley Farm, looking back over our shoulders at the view
down the valley and across to Chalford . . |
|||
| Heading
along the hillside the views are now over to Oakridge . . |
|||
| Our
route taking us through the Coombes . . |
|||
| Round
the edge of a riding
manege . . |
|||
| And
past the church . . |
|||
| Into
Frampton Mansell . . |
|||
| Progress
is halted by a passing train . . |
|||
| And
we make our way to Whitehall Bridge . . |
|||
| Where
we stop for lunch (Bernard's photo) . . |
|||
| Every
picture tells a story - struggling to get up after lunch . . |
|||
| Looks
like a heron behind the cattle . . |
|||
| Our
path takes us past a pond full of water lillies . . |
|||
| As
we head through Iles Green . . |
|||
| And
the lovely roses . . |
|||
| Then
cross the fields along a well defined path . . |
|||
| To
Bisley where our leader has found a few steps to climb . . |
|||
| As
we head into the churchyard . . |
|||
| And
pause for breath . . |
|||
| Then
continue through the village to the cars . . |
|||
| . | |||
| Thank
you to Richard for photos and 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. | |||
