Heading out of Winchcombe
Along the stream - or River Isbourne as the locals prefer to call it
Climbing gently
Through a field of barley
Cattle in the distance
Still climbing
Briefly descending towards Postlip Hall
They will soon have outgrown this tree
Keith wanted to know what was inside - we made helpful suggestions
A pause for coffee
Before we veer away form Postlip Hill and head down into the valley
Don't see many of them these days
An interesting bit of architecture
I wonder where that came from
Signs are different in the North Cotswolds
Down
Then up
A stop at the top
And a chance to take in the views back across the valley
Over to the Malverns
And to the North
Another descent
To Stanley Pontlarge with its Norman Church
The famous font - started off circular but following a change of theology became octagonal
Chance for a bit of lunch
Before beginning our last climb
Facing countless dangers
Thinks - 'he is waiting for me to fall off this narrow bridge'
Circling Gretton
Winchcombe in the distance
Before heading down into Winchcombe
Through a herd of charolais cattle
Resisting the urge to say 'bonjour big boy' to him as we continue back to the cars
