A good sized party set off along the Cotswold Way
Through the woods
What has Brian spotted?
A glimpse of the sun, much missed this gloomy Spring
Still, the flowers cheer us up, including wood anenomes
A few bluebells
And yet more wood anenomes
We leave the Cotswold Way
And Standish Wood
Heading up the road
Passing mossy walls
The Holly and the Ivy
To Bird in Hand
John calls this group a "Knit" of alpacas
Jacqui is awaiting offers from leaders for Monday walks
We cross a large hilltop field
Fresh green leaves a pleasant sight
We descend through more woods
On to a drive, legally a restricted byway (walkers, riders, and horse drawn vehicles only)
Near this unusual house
Uphill in Halliday's Wood
To Cliff Well
With interesting carvings and graffiti
No water though
Jim might be explaining about Cromwell's Stone
The door is closed at Ringhill Farm, and the doll is not waving - see 28 December 2016 photos
Colourful cranes hover above the new incinerator site
A good view over Gloucester to the Malverns
We all pause on Haresfield Beacon, including our backmarker John in blue
And a picture including Margaret our leader, also in blue
Quite breezy as we leave Haresfield Beacon.
Passing an old long barrow
The end is nigh, and we seem to be very pleased.
