Kilkenny Viewpoint CP. Sun's shining. All's well with the world
Enid leads us down into Dowdeswell
Looking over to Cheltenham as we make our way along the side of the hill
An old tree by the side of the road
A cobweb in the gate of the manor house - just like home
Continuing downhill
A sheep contemplating the reason for the manhole cover
Along the edge of a ploughed field
Then through the middle of a ploughed field
Before we stop at Lower Dowdeswell Church
A quick look inside, rays of sun coming in through the window
Then back out through the old door
Rather glad that one is made of stone
An unusual structure
Early violets
A muddy bit
An imposing house across the valley
Looking back at Lower Dowdeswell
Our path takes us through a muddy farm
Looking down at the distant Cheltenham Race Course - a bit busy there today
A helicopter buzzes overhead on its way to the races
Graham tells us about the lime trees in Lineover (meaning limes) Woods
And points out some splendid specimens
Then we head along the top of the hill
Our way blocked by a herd of horses
Who soon move out of the way once they spot a tractor bringing hay for lunch
Pausing on a narrow lane which will take us back to the start
Past St. Paul's Epistle
To the CP where there is a gap in the cars, Mike having returned early to find his keys which he left behind
