southcotswoldramblers.org.uk Tunnel House and Tarlton Sat 19 July 2008 . |
||
| John
addresses the asembled ramblers in the car park . . |
|||
| Of
the Tunnel House Inn . . |
|||
| Before
we set off along the canal path, looking back at the mouth of the old
tunnel . . |
|||
| Then
passing under a road bridge .. . |
|||
| Another
familiar sight on the old Thames/Severn Canal . . |
|||
| And
an example of Brunel's engineering skills with a railway bridge built on
an angle . . |
|||
| We
stop at the source of the Thames - seems like only a week ago we were
last here . . |
|||
| And
then head off across the fields . . |
|||
| Mr
Bull seems to be getting a bit amorous with one of the cows . . |
|||
| Should
have learned his lesson by now! . . |
|||
| Time
for coffee . . |
|||
| After
which John dons a reflective jacket ready for a long road walk . . |
|||
| Which
includes the re-crossing of the busy Tetbury - Cirencester road . . |
|||
| And
an enforced walk along a country lane - brought about because the
Monarch's Way is impassable . . |
|||
| We
reach Tarlton . . |
|||
| Where
we look across the fields . . |
|||
| Hoping
to catch sight of the Tunnel House - its there hidden in the trees with
Coates Church behind it . . |
|||
| And
Allen points the way so that we can get back to what turns out to be an
enjoyable lunch . . |

| 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. | |||
