		28 of us meet in the car park of the Naisworth Garden Centre ready for John's morning walk - Santa is too puffed out to join us! . .
		We start our climb up to the top .. .
		Through the beech woods . .
		And up the steep meadows . .
		Where some of us need to strip off after such exertion . .
		John thoughtfully prepares the way with hIs secateurs .. .
		Still warm he leads us . .
		Past curious sheep . .
		And over water to our coffee stop . .
		Then he finds us plenty of mud in Ledgemore Bottom . .
		We emerge at Chavenage Green . .
		And follow a track . .
		Into a pleasantly green valley . .
		I know it - he has discovered some Grade A mud - what's so funny, Allen? . .
Up we climb . .
To emerge into a brief spell of winter sun . .
And have a breather . .
Attractive bones of winter trees . .
What tracks? - more like boggy bits! . .
We weave from side to side searching for less muddy ground . .
	And gather ready for the final descent back 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.
