Not the most sparkling bunch of photos. The weather saw to that .
		Di takes the menu round getting orders for lunch . .
		As we get ready for our walk . .
		In the rather icy car park of the Lamb at Eastcombe . .
		We set off through the village in a damp mist . .
		Heading down into Bussage . .
		And along the side of the Toadsmoor Valley . .
		A difficult stile where gentleman John lends a helping hand . .
		Then we head down to St Marys where we cross the busy A419 . .
		Another gentleman recrosses to help our back marker over . .
		And we take the bridge over the canal . .
		Before walking past the old mill . .
		It's now uphill with the mill behind us . .
		And a rather plump sheep watching on . .
		The final drag up the hill to Hyde . .
Where we stop for coffee . .
Before heading back down Knapp Lane . .
Into the valley and over the River Frome . .
We now pass under the main road and railway . .
Before finding our way up the other side of Toadsmoor . .
Over a stile . .
And through the woods . .
	On a fine day we would have good views into Toadsmoor . .
	But today it's heads down and back up the hill to Eastcombe . .
	Pausing before the final climb back up the road . .
	Well it adds a bit of colour to the photos - and I told them not to trust the leader! . .
	After lunch we stagger out of the Lamb. Heather clutches the door for support . .
	.
	Photos and captions thanks once 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.
