		The car park at Crickley Hill. Alex has run out of fingers and toes to count the number on her walk . .
		Anyway about 26 of us pause to admire the view down into the valley .. .
		Before setting off along the Cotswold Way . .
		A quick look over her shoulder to ensure everybody is following . .
		And after the hazardous crossing of the A417 we head uphill past the Air Balloon . .
		And along the ridge towards Birdlip .. .
		The lakes at Witcombe with a foreground of colourful autumn trees . .
		And a pause for coffee . .
		With Gloucester Cathedral in the distance . .
		Our path takes us downhill . .
		To Witcombe . .
		Walking through a vineyard - those two look thirsty . .
		And across fields . .
		To the Bentham sports club . .
		A pause to re-group . .
Before we follow a path across wasteland . .
One of our younger members (the one in pink of course) stops to pat another new arrival . .
Then we stagger up a slight incline for the lunch stop . .
Must be a midget living in this property . .
Could be these two . .
We are joined by another enthusiastic rambler . .
	Before we stop for a drink at the Cheese Rollers in Shurdington . .
	Allen tries to hide behind a bean pole as we walk through some allotments . .
	Then we begin the day's major climb . .
	With views over Leckhampton Hill . .
	Before we return to Crickley Hill and the cars . .

	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.
