Andrew is all prepared
In Back Lane car park
We walk through the streets of Winchcombe
Past old houses (and new wheelie bins)
On the road to Sudeley Castle
Pigs forage
Spot the Gloucester Old Spot!
The first lambs I've seen this year
At an iron gate post, the path bypasses Sudeley Castle
Past aconities
Hazy day
This clearing contains a hidden villa with mosaics (on private land)
Back marker Brian is confused - he thinks he's gained some walkers
The False portal of Belas Knap - the bottom stones of this wall are in their original position, the higher ones have been well reconstructed
Coffee stop
By a tree with ribbons.
The top of the Long Barrow
We reach a muddy track. Janet demonstrates the depth of the puddles
A misty view of Winchcombe, and a bonfire
We follow the Cotswold Way
No, we weren't slow - we were back 45 minutes earlier than planned
But thank you to the person who put this sign up
Winchcombe Abbey seen across the fields
We file across the fields
And back to Winchcombe
