southcotswoldramblers.org.uk Walk around Dursley Saturday 7 January 2012

Home Page Walks Photos .
	A bit fresh at first as we assemble for Allen's walk
	We set off for our circle of Dursley across Stinchcombe Hill
	We share the woods with people who enjoy the mud even more than us
	We continue
	Through the sculpture trail
	This chap is keen on recycling!
	We head down to the bottom of the wood
	Where we have a view of Cam Peak, Long Down and Downham(Smallpox) Hill
	A close up of Cam Peak (or Peaked Down)
	Time for a morning break
	Long Down, Downham and the end of Uley Bury
	We continue
	Towards Uley
	Ray bringing up the rear
	What are they doing?
	Someone is not so interested
	After walking below Downham we head towards Cam Peak
	Where we turn right by this new house
	Two early young calves
	We puff up to the top of Cam Long Down
	In the winter sun
	Where we choose a sheltered spot in the quarry for lunch
	With a misty view to the trees on Downham Hill
	Off we go
Through a small wood
And head across
Spotting the new Vale Community Hospital (blue) and the Fire Station behind
We see St Georges Church at Cam
Passing the old
And the new
Very new!
Up we steeply go
The photographer pausing to capture some lichens
Before returning 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.
