A sunny morning so we take a few more leaders' photos for the gallery: Chris
Franceska is next
Then Margaret
Is Ray thinking of leading? Patrick snaps him anyway!
And today's leaders Heather and Mike
Turned out nice again after the recent blizzards. Heather leads off.
Our chairman is out walking the dog and ...
... unbeknown to us takes a couple of the group
Over the cattle grid
And down towards South Woodchester
Through the wood
Mike comes to the front
And we cross the stile into ....
Bospin Lane, where we branch off left
To the field where there are good views over the area
We come down gently - last week there were tobogganers here
Near the Ram Inn
And Tower House
Wonder what this old building is?
We stop for a break
Before passing the parish church
Patrick spots a signal box - where's the railway line??
Lawns Park has got it's hat on
Yes, Spring is still coming
Passing through Selsley village
We pause outside Stanley Park
and the church, a copy of one in Marling, Austria
The sun shines again
As we prepare ...
To climb up to the cars over the other side of the common
Pausing for views more than once!
We heard the skylarks several times while on the common and saw a few, but they are almost impossible to photograph. However on the internet is a very interesting page about the larks on Selsley, including a great photo of a lark with Rodborough Common in the background. Click here to see it.
