	Enid is ready to go
	Leading us off from the car park at Kilkenny
	Heading along a country road
	Pausing to watch Mike and Patrick
	Demonstrate how to negotiate a cross country jump
	Before heading downhill
	Into the valley
	Where we are greeted by the equestrian population
	Before carefully crossing a very slippery sleeper bridge
	Horses in coats watch on with interest
	Ok, so I forgot to wash my face this morning
	Our resident horse whisperer stops for a chat
	Keeping the rest of us waiting
	On through the village of Foxcote
	There is somebody taking a photo of us in the window
	Not one for stiles, Mike inspects the gate - could be useful when we get here on our Glos Way walk
	Others stand watching him
	We stop for coffee by a large barn
	Looking in our rucksacks for food for inquisitive sheep
	Another equestrian property, another steaming muck heap
	We follow a winding farm track
	Which leads into a very muddy path
	Spotting one more sign of spring
	Continuing uphill
	Before picking up our outward path - "Now shall I climb over that jump again?" asks Mike
	A strange clump of trees
	And we make our way back over an area of grassland.

As you can see, we thoroughly enjoy getting to know the South Cotswolds, as well as a few walks further afield. 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.
