Joe welcomes us on Frampton Green
And we head off across fields
Past the church
To the canal at Splatt Bridge
Where we cross
Looking across to the Severn
We follow the towpath to Saul Junction
Then leave the canal
Heading towards Whitminster Church
Along one of the many drainage channels in the area
We stop to examine the gravestones in the churchyard
Then follow the line of the old canal
Before making our way to Frampton Lakes
Where Joe photographs us having lunch
We continue past a second lake
Briefly held up here as we cut our way through undergrowth to get a gate open
Another drainage channel as we make our way towards Nebrow Hill
Pausing at the top
To look around
We continue over the river Cam
Then back along the road
To the canal
Passing its junction with the river Cam
As we head towards Splatt Bridge
Where a swan comes to greet us
A final muddy field bringing us back to our starting point

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.
