southcotswoldramblers.org.uk Miserden and Wishanger Wed 27 August 2008 . |
||
| The
car park of the Carpenters Arms is where Jacqui starts her walk . . |
|||
| And
we set off across the fields to Sudgrove . . |
|||
| Passing
around the edge of the village . . |
|||
| We
continue our walk . . |
|||
| With
views across the valley to Througham .. . |
|||
| And
down into another secluded valley . . |
|||
| Past
the dovecot at Honeycombe Farm . . |
|||
| Before
we take a sharp right just before The Camp . . |
|||
| Then
it's down into Wishanger . . |
|||
| Take
a picture of that they flower they said - so I did! Mike writes, "It's the common mullein (Verbascum thapsus)" - see some amazing photography and micrography here. . . |
|||
| Before
another pause to admire wild flowers . . |
|||
| Followed
by a coffee stop amongst some new mown hay . . |
|||
| Which
proves quite difficult to walk over . . |
|||
| But
which takes us to a road . . |
|||
| Which
leads down into the woods of Miserden Park . . |
|||
| A
steep climb calls for a brief stop . . |
|||
| While
a wobbly stile calls for caution . . |
|||
| A
tree which never fails to intrigue! . . |
|||
| Before
we make the final climb . . |
|||
| Back
to the pub and 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. | |||
