		It's foggy and frosty. We are meeting at Windy Ridge in Bisley. We have every reason to look cold . .
		Setting off across the frozen fields . .
		Soon getting into our stride . .
		As we climb out of Battlescombe . .
		And as usual finding this stretch of path impassable, taking to the adjoining field . .
		Coffee. Behind that barn door is a fire and a table laden with food & drinks waiting for a group of shooters to return . .
		At least we have got flasks of coffee and left over Christmas cake supplied by Di . .
		We make our way to Edgeworth passing through the churchyard . .
		And out through the lychgate . .
		Walking along the valley . .
		We head towards Valley Farm . .
		The trees still frosted . .
		The streams frozen . .
		We stop to look . .
A steep climb with a stile at the top . .
Well not quite the top . .
The climb continues . .
More frost covers the trees . .
We are on the top now . .
And things look very white . .
Ice covers the road as we drop down into Sudgrove . .
	Where we stop for lunch. Julie's daughter seen here distributing chocolate liquers . .
	Al-Qaeda? No Al Marks, a stalwart of the Ramblers . .
	We carefully pick our way down the hill from Sudgrove . .
	And march back up the other side . .
	Following a path across the fields in single file . .
	Seems to be a bit of a gap developing here . .
	Not very old. Looking for someone to play with . .
	But we carry on into yet another valley . .
	Well I told them at the beginning that the route was slightly undulating . .
	Finding another stream to cross at the bottom . .
	The final climb with a herd of horses to greet us at the top . .
	And as we return - did I mention that it was very frosty? . .
	.
	Shiver me timbers - photos and captions thanks again to Richard . .
	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.
