Is Ray applauding us for turning up?
At least he looks happy and ready to go
Heading down through the woods
Looking out from the side of the valley
As we descend towards Frocester Hill Farm
Where the sheep have their own portaloo
Views now over the Severn
Horse riders also out today
Mum with her new calf
A short climb
Then down to a stile
Ray waits to give stragglers chance to catch up
Then continues with Cam Long Down in front of us
We spread out across fields
Watched by this little family
On past a new house
Round the edge of a field
Stopping for coffee
By another pond - Cam Long Down now towering over us
On our way again
Could be what I am looking for
No they got there first
A colourful bank
A different line in scarecrows
Fine display of daffs along the road in Uley
And over the green
It's up to you which way you go
Now heading up the valley
A long hard climb
Reaching the top at Cockadillay
Back to Coaley Peak where we are enthusiastically greeted
Picking off the back markers
