southcotswoldramblers.org.uk Miserden figure of eight Sat 24 January 2009 . |
||
| Advantage
of joint leaders? 20 fingers and 20 toes to count numbers. Today we have
4 to spare! . . |
|||
| As
we head out of the Carpenters Arms Car Park in Miserden . . |
|||
| Heading
across the fields . . |
|||
| Of
Misarden Park . . |
|||
| A
sign of recent wet and cold weather . . |
|||
| As
we walk up the valley from Wishanger . . |
|||
| Past
Whiteway Colony . . |
|||
| And
back into the woods . . |
|||
| Our
path taking us towards Caudle Green . . |
|||
| Where
we stop for coffee . . |
|||
| Then
crossing the valley to climb up to Syde . . |
|||
| Walking
sticks working overtime . . |
|||
| To
be greeted by Bill and Ben Oldies reminisce here. "Why can't the youngsters today dance like that?" Youngsters learn more. (Scroll down) . . |
|||
| A
difficult bank takes us down out of Syde . . |
|||
| Followed
by an equally difficult stream and stile combination . . |
|||
| Easier
walking now as we pass round a stubble field . . |
|||
| And
through a wood . . |
|||
| Before
a stile leads us across a road . . |
|||
| And
down again into Misarden Park . . |
|||
| Janet
draws everybody's attention to an icy road . . |
|||
| Then
we head back up to Miserden for lunch . . |
|||
| Duly
refreshed we start our afternoon walk . . |
|||
| Heading
past the mansion owned by the Wills familly . . |
|||
| And
round the lake in the valley . . |
|||
| A
brief level stretch . . |
|||
| Before
heading down Bull Banks . . |
|||
| Let
us in on the joke ladies! . . |
|||
| Enjoying
the late afternoon sun . . |
|||
| Before
we lose it as we cross the bottom of the valley . . |
|||
| Over
the bridge at the bottom . . |
|||
| And
up a steep hill through tangled trees . . |
|||
| Then
across to Sudgrove . . |
|||
| And
back to Miserden . |

| 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. | |||
