		Studying our route? No, making our selections for lunch at the Tunnel House Inn . .
		Getting out of the waterlogged car park, Patrick, our leader, stops to tell us about the walk .. .
		And we set off along a wide grass track . .
		To Coates . .
		Passing through the village . .
		And through the middle of the Rural Skills Centre. Ramblers can learn to walk here .. .
		We circle Bledisloe House . .
		Jim stopping to lean on a gate . .
		Here things get a bit complicated as our path should be over the other side of the fence . .
		So the photographer takes one route and the rest of the party take the other . .
		But we all meet at the end and head down towards the canal . .
		Where we come across a shoot and after explaining that Ramblers are not in season . .
		We continue along the canal . .
		Passing one of the famous round houses . .
We approach the Coates Portal and lunch . .
After lunch we head across the fields . .
Bandits at three o'clock . .
To Tarlton . .
Then back through Hailey Wood to 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.
