		Some earnest discussion as we meet by the Bottle Green Company just off the A46 at Woodchester .
		Then head off up the hill .
		Into South Woodchester .
		Passing these Maple trees .
		Before heading back down into the valley over a bridge .
		Looking across the valley we spot a wallaby - don't see a lot of them in the Cotswolds .
		Mike shows us how to squeeze through a small gap .
		Before we toil up the hill .
		Pausing as we head towards ... .
		The entrance to Bownhill Farm .
		Following the drive towards the farm .
		Some old farm machinery making a handy spot for coffee .
		After which we head down to Inchbrook .
		Following a path through a field of wheat .
		John looks back to make sure everybody is still following .
		As usual we pause at Crystal Fountain - not long now .
		And then climb up to Windsoredge .
		A brief walk along the top before .
		We head back down to Dunkirk Mill .
		Under the old railway line .
		And up to Dunkirk Manor .
		A pause by the Old Court House .
		Before climbing back up .
		To the Common .
		Where we can look across the valley to the route we have followed .
		Then on to the Amberley War Memorial .
		And back down to our starting point .

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.
