		The Daneway. Forecast grim. Hurricane Bill upon us. Should be in for a wet one! .
		So why are 12 ramblers gathered in the car park? .
		Mad? Not bothered by rain? Some don't even wear waterproofs .
		We head off over to Tunley .
		Still no rain. The cows seem happy in the trench .
		Allen ever the gentleman .
		And exhibitionist .
		As we head down the valley .
		And through the woods .
		Approaching Waterlane .
		Where a collie attempts to round us up .
		Before he is captured by his owner .
		Still no rain. Waterproofs coming off .
		Crossing the road in Iles Green .
		We follow the fields along the side of the valley .
		Slight chance of rising damp from the wet grass .
		Then an awkward stile is negotiated .
		We head down the fields to Bakers Mill .
		And over the bridge to the canal path .
		I once heard that the average length of a rain storm in the UK is 20 mins! .
		So I don't let a bad forecast stop me - and it looks like blackberry and apple pie for dinner tonight! .
		Crossing the canal we make our way back untouched by rain .

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.
