One thing about starting from Barrow Wake is the great views
Across to the Forest
And down the Cotswolds
Andrew leads us out along the top of the hill
And into the woods
Where the sun shines through the trees
A field of sheep
Followed by fields of straw bales awaiting collection
Making the most of a fine spell
With rain forecast for tomorrow
We stop and watch
A lot of activity
As tractors scurry around the field picking up bales
As we continue one of them follows us down the wide track
Continuing along the top of the hill
Past a farmhouse
Stopping for coffee
Future Grand National winner
Now on a stoney track
Taking us to a road
A spotty horse in quarantine
Following the Cotswold Way
Into woods
Coming out, we have views of the Malverns
And across Gloucester to May Hill
We stop at the information centre on Crickley Hill
Before making our way round the top
Looking down the valley to Witcombe Lakes
Getting ready to cross the A417 at the Air Balloon
Before we make our way back uphill to the cars
