		Ignored by a pig as we shelter from the rain at the start of our walk .
		At least the goat seems glad to see us .
		But eventually we take the plunge and and congregate in the rain outside the pub on the green ready for Rosemary and Steve to lead us .
		Walking down main street we pass the manor .
		And a busy fisherman .
		Resolutely avoiding temptation in the persistent rain .
		On our left are some of Frampton's old Tudor cottages .
		This one appropriately named "Tudor Cottage" .
		Skirting a large puddle we go through a lych gate into the churchyard .
		Before a stile takes us into a field .e Woods
		Where we make friends with a group of mares and foals .
		We cross the canal .
		And follow the towpath back towards Saul .
		With views across the Severn .
		Low cloud forming on the hills of the Forest .
		As we continue past Frampton Bridge .
		Along the canal with its colourful boats .
		This one obviously feeling the cold even in summer .
		Across the canal is the old Cadbury factory, now a flour mill .
		And a name to conjure with .
		We are joined by another group of enthusiastic ramblers .
		Before we leave the canal to head back into Frampton

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.
