Roundabout Hawkesbury Upton

Wed 17 December 2008

.
Norman and Marie prepare to start our walk - are they leading prayers for a safe return?
.
.
We leave Hawkesbury Upton - the Somerset Monument in the background
.
.
Across fields
.
.
Heading downhill
.
.
Who is that athletic figure crossing the stile?
.
.
Then down a slippery slope
.

.
To Hawkesbury
.
.
Where our leaders tell us something about the church
.
.
And a local comes out to also tell us something about the church
.
.
And we look at the church
.
.
Before walking over Hawkesbury Common
.
.
Striding out somewhat gingerly on a slippery road
.
.
Before stopping again for information from Norman
.
.
Some strange sheep
.
.
We head across country
.
.
Sometimes on narrow lanes
.
.
With views up the valley
.
.
To Hillesley
.
.
Leaving the village
.
.
We pass a familiar face in a garden
.
.
Then we head back up the valley
.
.
Gough in pensive mood
.
.
Past the ponds
.
.
On the last lap to Hawkesbury Upton
.
.

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.
