		With numbers growing to reach around 40 we meet in Arlingham for Ray's walk .
		And Ray arrives to take us on the Skylark walk - part of the Arlingham Horseshoe .
		Could bury a few ramblers in that trench! ..
		We pass the old Ebenezeer Church dating back to July 12th 1820 .
		And make our way across the fields .
		Some with crops, to one of the many kissing gates on our route .
		We approach the giddy heights of Barrow Hill .
		Making our way up to the top .
		Chance to record the view .
		As we wait for stragglers to catch up .
		Looking over the Severn with Fretherne Church in the trees .
		Then Ray leads us back downhill .
		Through another kissing gate .
		Having reached a more sheltered spot we stop for coffee ..
		Might get a grant from the EU to replace that trailer .
		In line astern we walk a short stretch of road .
		Then form up along a fence - why? .
		We have reached the river .
		Some debris washed up here .
		A misty view up the river .
		One last area of mud to negotiate .
		Before we head back past Arlingham Church .
		Walking on the grass verge to clean our boots as we reach 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.
