		Gloomy. Wet. But still 18 hardy souls turn out to catch the view at Symonds Yat .
		Looking down to the river .
		As it circles round below us .
		Refreshed with coffee and cake at the tea shop .
		We head down to Symonds Yat and the ferry over the river Wye .
		Who pays the ferryman? We did and he heads back to the pub pockets brimming over with our money .
		Our route now follows the river .
		To the bridge at Biblins where we anxiously wait to avoid exceeding the weight limit .
		Safely over, a short wait for the leader to work out where next .
		A steep climb takes us over the hill where we have lunch then walk down to .e Woods
		The Suckstone .
		Weather a bit brighter as we walk along a forest track .
		Before once more climbing .
		Moving on to our next rock .
		The Buck Stone .
		T
		Followed shortly by the Long Stone - once a meeting place .
		More forest trails .
		And a conifer plantation .
		Bring us back to Christchurch .
		Via a campsite .
		And 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.
