southcotswoldramblers.org.uk Cam Peak and Uley Sat 30 August 2008 . |
||
| As
we stand in Cam Peak car park it is with a certain amount of trepidition
that we look uphill . . |
|||
| But
not to worry Maurice and Dave have devised a walk that takes us round
the bottom of the hill . . |
|||
| Passing
through a farmyard . . |
|||
| Before
heading up the valley towards Uley . . |
|||
| Mike
stops to examine a horse box - could make a good camper van! .. . |
|||
| They
know how to welcome visitors round here . . |
|||
| But
we still stop for coffee at the Millennium Green - guess who won the
race for the seats . . |
|||
| We
continue to circumnavigate Uley . . |
|||
| A
bit of encouragement for back marker Bill . . |
|||
| As
we walk in the direction of Owlpen . . |
|||
| But
a change of direction takes us over a stream . . |
|||
| And
into Uley village . . |
|||
| We
then start a gentle climb up Uley Bury . . |
|||
| Pausing
to look back over the village . . |
|||
| And
stopping for lunch at the top. While others eat and drink Dave carefully
considers his apple . . |
|||
| Some
sleep, and others chat and look at the view over Downham Hill . . |
|||
| Then
we head off downhill . . |
|||
| Reaching
the bottom with views over the Severn Vale . . |
|||
| We
avoid an impassable field of maize by walking through some horse
paddocks . . |
|||
| Then
make use of a smart new bridge which has recently replaced a decaying
one . . |
|||
| Walking
round the bottom of Cam Long Down . . |
|||
| Before
heading up the slope . . |
|||
| To
this point where Dave invites us to pick a path . . |
|||
| Some
head up Cam Peak where they stand on top . . |
|||
| And
watch those who have opted for the easier route return to the car park . . |

| 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. | |||
