Jacky's November Walk

Sat 15 November 2008

Another good turn out for Jacky's very hilly walk
.
Leaving the lay-by at the Pavillion we head off under the road and railway
.
.
Before taking the canal path
..
.
Then up a very narrow path towards Hyde
.
.
We look down into the valley
.
.
As we continue climbing
.
.
A sight which encourages our leader, Jacky, to take a photo
..
.
A bit more climbing and we head along
.
.
Besbury Common
.
.
Stopping in Burleigh to talk and for quiet contemplation while everybody catches up
.
.
Then it's out onto Minchinhampton Common
.
.
Heading towards the Bear
.
.
Followed by an ice cream stop - a print of this picture has been passed to Andy
.
.
Our route then takes us downhill
.
.
Over the railway
.
.
To the canal
.
.
Where lunch is taken
.
.
Under the watchful eye of a rather large pike
.
.
We cross the river Frome
.
.
Before climbing the other side of the valley, across swollen streams
.
.
And walking along the top of the hill to Lypiatt
.
.
And Nether Lypiatt Manor or the Haunted House as it is known locally
.
.
We walk down into Toadsmoor
.
.
Skirting the side of the valley
.
.
Past the lower lake
.
.

Taking a rest in Bussage after climbing the very steep hill
.
.
To finish the walk we go through Brownshill and down Station Banks
.
.
Back to our starting point
.
.
.

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.
