		The prospect of Jacky's evening stroll and two pub stops attract eight of us to the car park at Chalford Social Club . .
		And we set off through France Lynch . .
		And into Chalford, past the school - didn't have a sign outside when I went there - needed for the war! . .
		We now have a long descent through the village .. .
		Into the valley . .
		Pretty old - but they still use donkies arouind here don't they? . .
		Half an hour from our start we reach our first pub stop - The New Red Lion . .
		Where we sit in the garden in the evening sunshine . .
		Before starting to climb back up the hill . .
		And along the side of the valley . .
		Don't think that will scare anything! . .
		As we walk we look down on the little cottages . .
		And catch a glimpse of Brunel's viaduct . .
		Then head out into the fields . .
Eyed suspiciously by a mother deer and her babies across the valley . .
Before we head through the woods . .
And back into France Lynch . .
Where dinner awaits . .
	Though some find the chairs a bit low . .

	Thanks 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.
