		On Windy Ridge I would have thought most callers would be cold .
		Still the sun is out and we feel quite warm as Mike welcomes us to walk no.10 .
		We walk into Bisley .
		Past the Lych Gate .
		And into the churchyard .
		A steep set of steps takes us to the bottom of the village .
		Where we take to a muddy track on the Wysis Way .
		Our route takes us across fields .
		With a pause for Mike to check that we have the correct path .
		Before we continue down .
		Into Bournes Green .
		A stile .
		Takes us into a field of cows .
		And we make our way to Oakridge .
		Passing the village school onion patch .
		We now head down into the valley .
		With Bakers Mill in front of us .
		As we walk along the valley road .
		On the canal path we pass the Mill and lake .
		As we follow the path .
		Pausing to study the information board at Whitehall Bridge .
		A stop for a thirsty look at the Daneway but we must continue .
		On our path between river and canal .
		To the Daneway Portal .
		Then up the fields to Sapperton .
		Where we pause to look in the church .
		With this memorial to Robert Atkins, a great doer of good works .
		Before taking lunch in the churchyard .
		We leave Sapperton heading down into the valley and over the new Dorval Bridge .
		Then uphill .
To polo country .
With views of Edgeworth House .
And more climbing .
Then a broad woodland path .
Over a stile .
And into Battlescombe .
Leaping across a stream .
Eventually spotting the spire of Bisley Church .
As we cross one last field .
And into the village .
A short walk up the road brings us back to the cars .

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.
