		New leaders Ivan and Cath talk to some of the assembled throng . .
		Before we set off round the playing field in Hillesley . .
		Through the village where daffodils are coming through . .
		And out along a track with Rosehill School across the fields . .
		A bridge takes us over a busy stream . .
		And we pass a pond with a family of young swans . .
		Let's go this way - no, come on, hurry up! . .
		A pause for a group photo in front of an old tree . .
		Before we head off in the morning sun . .
		Now on the Cotswold Way . .
		We head uphill . .
		Into Alderley . .
		Where Ivan tells us some of the history of Rosehill School . .
		We pass a farmer feeding his sheep . .
As we continue on the Cotswold Way . .
Stopping for coffee . .
We continue on our way under the watchful eye of some highland cattle . .
When I get too old to be a rambler........ . .
Our path takes us up the valley . .
Past some lakes . .
And the Hawkesbury Monument . .
	As we reach the top we pass some horse boxes waiting for the hunt to return . .
	And this rather unusual farmhouse . .
	Then head downhill . .
	And back into Hillesley . .
	.

	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.
