		A peaceful canal side scene .
		And a handy picnic bench to sit as we gather for John's evening walk .
		Across the road is Purton Church .
		Which we pass before climbing the only hill and look back over the Severn .
		Round a field of ripening barley .
		Our path blocked by impenetrable crops we follow another round the edge of the field .
		Across another field - John trusting to his GPS .
		Eventually picking up our intended route into Sharpness passing this rundown farm .
		And at the docks a resting place for cranes .
		A crested grebe spotted in the docks .e Woods
		We stop to inspect the monument to TS Vindicatrix .
		Before crossing the canal .
		And admiring the views up the Severn .
		Don't know who is in charge on this boat .
		We continue along the canal bank .
		Passing the remains of the old railway bridge .
		Reflected in the calm waters .
		Until we reach the Purton hulks .
		Hulk at sunset .
		Another view over the Severn .
		And another sunset for good measure .
		Funny what some people do in their gardens .
		And here we are at the end of the walk - not very often we see this good looking fellow .

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.
