		Sneedham Green, and Patrick welcomes a smaller more select gathering than usual .
		We cross the M5 bathed in morning sunshine .
		Soon taking to the fields ..
		Well his field .
		With his des res close by .
		We start to climb .
		Looking back towards Robinswood Hill .
		A pause as we reach the top for Patrick to explain that we are .
		On a new parish council footpath .
		Now looking across the valley to Gloucester .
		The mud gets rather sticky here .
		But there is a handy stream for washing boots .
		We proceed across a new bridge .
		Heading downhill .
		Through fields dotted with trees .
		Our path now takes us along the side of the motorway .
		Then underneath it .
		To a path which Patrick explains is where he and Angela did their courting - nuff said .
		We wern't supposed to see this house- on the wrong path .
		But soon get back on track .
		A narrow stile taking us out .
		For a brief walk on the Stroud - Gloucester road .
		Not pumping much petrol these days .
		We now find ourselves in wide open spaces .
		With Whaddon church across the way .
		Where we briefly encounter the Glevum Way .
And the old parish pump .
Before we start to climb Robinswood Hill .
With views down the Severn Vale .
Which we stop to admire .
Before making our way .
Back across the golf course .
To our starting point .
Just next to a piece of industrial archaeology .

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.
