A good turnout on a day with a bad forecast, but Ann confidently (and correctly) predicts we won't get wet.
We pause outside Dunkirk Manor
And pass houses with formal gardens,
More colourful gardens
And one with a lady playing a lyre (or similar!)
The climb is steep
Tony doing a good job as back marker in the distance.
Just below the Amberley Inn we come across Pyramidal Orchids
Among birds' foot trefoil and buttercups
We cross the road on the common above Amberley Primary School
This cow kindly turns her head to reveal her reflective collar
We sit in a long line for coffee
Through Minch to Box Lane
We distract this cat from his search in the long grass
From Box you can clearly see the new structure at Beaudesert School
With Scars Hill below
Through Box Village
Another lovely garden - but it was Box Open Gardens at the weekend - so you would expect this
A difficult stone stile onto Pensile Way
Which we follow back to Nailsworth and our lunch.
