.
We set off from South Cerney
.
Following an old railway track
.
Round a disused viaduct
.
We need a volunteer to see if they are edible
.
Not seen a weather vane like this before
.
A pause for Kathy to show us the lock and cottage being renovated
.
Before we reach the new bridge - Kathy exlains that the metal work represents bullrushes
.
We continue along the canal path
.
One of the old round houses
.
Stopping for coffee by an old lock in the morning sunshine
.
We now circle a lake
.
We watch as the owners fail to coax this Newfoundland, a well known water dog, into the lake
.
We continue across water meadows
.
Picking up the track back to South Cerney
.
A chance to watch some water skiing
.
And the South Cerney Sailing Club
.
In action
.
We cross the stream as we approach South Cerney
.
Looking back at the water mill
.
And the Church across the allotments
.
As with rivers either side
.
We arrive back at Silver Street and the end of our walk
.

top 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 Led 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 Ramblers.
