		Having squeezed us all into the car park at the Beaufort Inn, Anne prepares to start the walk .
		And we set off along a narrow lane .
		Soon entering a field ..
		And continuing down into a valley .
		Where we follow a small stream .
		Eventually picking up the Cotswold Way .
		Climbing the hill we pass a tree with some wierd looking exposed roots .
		Taking a quick water stop when we reach the top .
		Our route then takes us along the edge of a field .
		Stopping at some stragegically placed logs for coffee, the Somerset Monument peering over the top of the hill .
		Then a short road walk .
		Brings us views over the Severn Vale .
		Caption for photo decided on walk: "Who has lost a packet of Kleenex?" .
		Now it's all downhill .
		Until we reach Orange End - a name which brings a smile to some faces .
		But it has got a nice village green, with a grazing horse .
		A short walk across a field .
		And over a footbridge .
		Brings us along the road into Hawkesbury .
		With its old church .
		And from Hawkesbury to Hawkesbury Upton can only mean one thing - a hill .
		Which we soon climb .
		Reaching a farm track .
		Which brings us back into Hawkesbury Upton and lunch at the pub .

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.
