No prizes for guessing who is here today.
Castle Combe CP. Graham today's leader
Leaving the road we have new hazards to face
At least we are on a good tree-lined path
Looking down on the valley
A smallholding with geese below
An old cottage being renovated
Starting to head uphill
Can see where everything gets dumped
The church at Biddestone
The village pump
And the village green
Where we settle down for coffee
Under the watchful eyes of the ducks
Round here they clean up after their ponies
More watchful eyes in that window
A closer look at the pump as we continue our walk
Still a murky day
A pause to pass the time of day
Before heading downhill
Culminating in some difficult steps
We arrive at a river
Which briefly follows our path
Through Slaughterford - another New Year's resolution forgotten about
The remains of the Rag Mill

Still on the river
Some of our Wiltshire friends stop for a photo on the beach
Then we begin a long uphill climb
Gate has seen better days
A pause as we reach the top
Where we cross a road
And head steeply downhill
To reach North Wraxall
On the hilltop across the valley
Climbing uphill into the village
Where we stop for lunch at the church
Leaving North Wraxall our path takes us over this stile
And round the top of another valley
Following a wide track
Downhill again
To pick up the road
Into Castle Combe
Where we walk up the main street
Past the war memorial
And back to the cars
