Summer has arrived - for the time being anyway. .
		The important thing when the sun shines is to put on plenty of sun cream . .
		This done we leave Eastcombe and head down into the Toadsmoor Valley . .
		Then up the other side stopping to admire the many wild flowers . .
		Before climbing a stile at the top .. .
		Also important in strong sun are the hats - they come in many different forms for rambling . .
		Our path takes us through Lypiatt Park . .
		To Bisley . .
		Where we stop for coffee - and to break Bruno out of the famous lock up . .
		But 50 is nifty (any other ideas please put on the message board) . .
		Just walking past this one today . .
		Bisley Church Spire- on the shortest day in the early morning the spire casts a shadow over Minchinhampton Common . .
		A colourful field of ramblers and wild flowers . .
		Followed by a field of wheat . .
		Heading back along the valley to Eastcombe we pass a highland pony stud . .
And look across to Lypiatt Park once home of Dick Whittington and more recently Lynn Chadwick . .
Then Eastcombe comes into view . .
And our final destination . .
For 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.
