southcotswoldramblers.org.uk Luckington and the source of the Avon Sat 20 September 2008 . |
||
| John
looks round for customers as we gather outside the Old Royal Ship at
Luckington . . |
|||
| The
church here has a space to park the vicar! .. . |
|||
| It
was also used to film Pride and Prejudice . . |
|||
| We
head out of the village on a raised path to get round the ford . . |
|||
| As
we cross fields John turns "backerds" to ensure no one is
misbehaving . . |
|||
| A
pause for meditation and chin scratching .. . |
|||
| As
we look across to Sherston . . |
|||
| Ostriches?
Rheas? Answers on the message board please . . |
|||
| We
follow the stream out of Sherston . . |
|||
| Then
climb the hill . . |
|||
| Looking
up the valley . . |
|||
| And
past a well manacured lawn with Ha Ha . . |
|||
| A
short road walk . . |
|||
| Before
John has to lift an electric wire for us to pass safely. No it wasn't on . . |
|||
| We
continue past the source of the Avon . . |
|||
| Now
how do I get back to my mates without getting wet . . |
|||
| This
farmer has got his crops in alright as we walk across a stubble field . . |
|||
| Then
comes the water jump . . |
|||
| Or
in some cases a slightly extended stride . . |
|||
| Now
the village of Sopwith . . |
|||
| And
a fine display of flowers at the entrance to this house . . |
|||
| We
trudge across the fields . . |
|||
| Mike
pausing to check the route . . |
|||
| Then
one last field back to Luckington 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. | |||
