Waterside Walk from Saul

Thu 16 October 2008

.
A hand is raised - the problem of a back marker is resolved
.
.
And Kathy leads us out of Saul
..
.
Stepping out along a short stretch of road
.
.
Before heading across fields where John demonstrates an elegant technique over a stile
.
.
Eventually reaching the banks of the Severn where we stop
.
.
To take in the view
..
.
After which we follow the river bank
.
.
Before high tide stops us
.
.
And we have to cut a corner back to the canal towpath
.
.
Ever had a feeling of being watched?
.
.
We cross the canal and head down the other side
.
.
Pausing for coffee
.
.
And to watch a Willow Trust boat go by
.
.
We then head over to Frampton where we walk round the green
.
.
And into Frampton Court, a family of swans on the lake
.
.
The manor house with its Countryside Alliance signs
.
.
A pleasant ramble across fields
.
.
Brings us to the river Frome
.
.
And some signs of the old Stroudwater Canal
.
.
Which soon become more obvious
.
.
As we watch a narrow boat comes out of the boat park - marina to the boatees amongst us
.
.
We cross the Sharpness Canal over Junction Bridge
.
.
And continue along the river bank back to Saul
.
.

top 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.
