We gather outside The Angel at Sherston
Sheelagh will be leading us
As Brian is incapacitated
But he tells us about the mud and the slippery stiles
Despite this, we set off through Sherston and across flat fields
A bit of a delay at a kissing gate onto a road
John opens the gate of his estate for us
The sun breaks through the mist and it starts to be a lovely day
We walk round the edge of a field
Past a farm with a manege
One of several difficult stiles
We wait for everyone to get over
Up a slope from the river
Past pheasant pens
Easton Grey House, a late 18th century house that was a retreat for the Asquiths
Colourful foliage
That's a better photo
Into Easton Grey, Colin back marking
The river in full flow
I love this little window hanging out over the river
Mike prefers the view of the bridge from this side
Greenery
Further on the river is gushing well
Fortunately the bridge is quite a long way above it
We get to the area where the Fosse Way crosses the Sherston branch of the River Avon which is a Roman settlement
This sketch map shows you more
Round the edge of a muddy field
Crossing the gallops
Who's this? The ghost of our incapacitated leader?
We head back into Sherston and the pub.
