John is preparing for his walk but something seems to have distracted everyone
Goff moves over to get a better look
Yes, a customer for the shop has got herself wedged in rather tight and is in danger of hitting John's car - oh dear!
But all's well that ends well and we leave Luckington past this impressive floral display
Up the road sweeping past a herd of dogs
Then taking to the fields
Round the edge of one
Then following the path down into a small valley
Then up the other side
Stile recently refurbished by the Wardens - farmer still prefers a strand of barbed wire
Continuing across fields
Now entering Sopworth - plants for sale
And up a narrow alley to the church
Must have been a good party
What is it with swings?
Didmarton across the fields
We stop for coffee at the church
Time to relax
Someone thinks it's funny
Sheep may safely graze
As we continue across fields
Past a herd of white horses
Now walking along
The infant Avon
A stop to eat John's cake
Off again and Ann shows how to get over this stile
The clapper bridge over the Avon at Sherston
As we approach the knicker elastic factory
Something to do with a bumblebee I believe!
Into Sherston - pretty tulips
Then crossing over the river
Before walking through a nature reserve
Eventually reaching a road
Past the ford as we enter Brookend
And walk through the village
Sherston Church
Our route takes us through the churchyard
Then back up the road to the cars
