		Our walk (led by Richard and Di) starts through the village of Bisley where we stop to look at the Lock Up .
		We head out of the village .
		And down into our first valley of the day .
		Through a herd of cows .
		The view down the valley .
		Which we stop to look at as we climb the other side .
		Reaching the top of the hill again .
		Before descending into another valley as we walk towards .
		Sudgrove where coffee is taken .
		A stile is negotiated over a stone wall .
		As we look back towards Througham .
		A field of grass waiting to be turned into hay makes for rather difficult wet walking .
		And brings us to the side of our next valley .
		With Honeycombe Farm and its dovecotes in the bottom .
		We cross the top of the hill to Nottingham Wood .
		And down into the Dillay Valley .
		Quite a romantic setting looking down into the Dillay Valley .
		If you weren't surrounded by a bunch of noisy Ramblers eating lunch .
		The view down the valley towards Slad as the skies start to clear .
		A short uphill climb on a narrow road .
		Brings us to Purgatory .
		And we continue along the top of the hill .
		And down into Toadsmoor .
		Treading carefully down a steep slope .
		Then climbing up the other side of the valley pausing to put on waterproofs .
		We cross Lypiatt Park .
		Not the day for a sun hat .
		As we start the final stretch .
		Back into Bisley .

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.
