Another miserable day for walking. At least the company is good so off we go
Following Olivia in search of snowdrops
If it's not cats' eyes, it's cows
Heading out across fields
Don't look very happy
Old stone trough - came from Quenington
Following a footpath to Peaches Farm
Then a rather waterlogged track
Devils Churchyard? Now a nature reserve
Nice
The road out of Aston Farm
Nearing the path to the lake
A few snowdrops
A lot of snowdrops
Posing at the end of the lake
Where we are accosted by a pair of swans
Looking down the lake
And the stream taking water away
Leaving the lakeside path
We return to Cherington
Let him that is athirst come
Reaching Cherington Church
Chance for some quiet contemplation
Outside we spot the grave of Brian Trubshaw
Wild boar
A house full of character, I suppose
Talking of character
Our path follows the edge of a field
Then downhill to Nags Head
Interesting feature on wall of the old inn
Walls have ears. windows have cat's eyes
Looking down into the bottom of the valley
As we follow the road towards Avening
Then over a steep stile
And up the hill
Over another stile
To the golf course
Rucksack carriers?
Past more bunkers
To Gatcombe and the herd of White Park cattle
With calves
Down into Bubblewell
On a wide track
Before heading up to Minchinhampton past a new housing development
