southcotswoldramblers.org.uk Kingscote and Ozleworth Wed 3 September 2008 . |
||
| With
Hunters Hall behind him Ray greets us on what promises to be a rather
doubtful day weather wise . . |
|||
| In
the distance we catch sight of a herd of refugees from South America . . |
|||
| As
we head down the valley to Ozleworth . . |
|||
| We
climb back up the hill . . |
|||
| With
a short break to adjust clothing to meet changing conditions .. . |
|||
| Before
stopping for coffee in Ozleworth churchyard . . |
|||
| Eventually
leaving in bright sunlight . . |
|||
| Passing
round the front of Ozleworth Manor . . |
|||
| And
back down to Ozleworth Bottom . . |
|||
| The
trees and house make for a colourful picture . . |
|||
| We
head along the valley . . |
|||
| Over
a stream . . |
|||
| And
along a reasonable woodland track . . |
|||
| Eventually
skirting a couple of ponds where the going becomes very muddy . . |
|||
| As
we make our way up to Lasborough Ray points out the remains of an old
ice house . . |
|||
| The
track takes us past this lake . . |
|||
| Lasborough
Park Mansion . . |
|||
| And
a cattle grid . . |
|||
| After
which we have views over Lasborough Manor and attendant chapel . . |
|||
| Before
pausing to examine this feature which Ray explains is an old Mott and
Bailey fortification . . |
|||
| Not
a sign altered by a vandal but the Local Authority utilising another
sign to warn of badger holes . . |
|||
| A
final climb brings us back to the cars and a pub 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. | |||
