		Familiar territory - the Car Park of the Falcon at Painswick .
		We soon head out into open country, John turning to check on his troops .
		Heading down ..
		Into the valley .
		Views towards Stroud .
		Just a short climb .
		With Edge behind the hedge across the valley .
		A stile is negotiated .
		Then another .
		We share our footpath with a stream .
		Crossong it eventually .
		Stile + waymark - must be a footpath here somewhere .
		Our stream becomes a raging torrent from the melting snow .
		Is that a walking stick or toothpick in John's hand? .
		A pause for coffee ..
		With views across the valley .
		Then we head along the top of the hill .
		Ghostly figures appear out of the mist .
		As we follow the Cotswold Way .
		Down the hill .
		Washed my hair and its gone all curly! .
		Through a kissing gate .
		And up the hill .
		Into Painswick .
		And back to the Falcon for lunch .

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.
