All
We assemble at Rea Bridge for John's mince pie walk
Following the canal we are soon going under the new bridge
Canoeists out
The dry dock
Continuing
Past fishermen
Looking back along the canal
We walk through the housing estate where we are joined by John and Cheryl
Lots of apartments being built
We navigate the marina
Cranes on the skyline
Gloucester Cathedral visible
Graffiti
Done well
We're in the docks area
Passing Llanthony Secunda Priory which we will return to later
The old lightship
We finish up near Wetherspoons for our 45 minute break
Now leaving Gloucester
And passing the Priory
We follow the Glevum Way below the old rubbish dump
John leading us on
Flooded fields
Chatting at the back
But we make good progress
In Hempsted you can choose between a Liqueur Competition in the Village Hall .....
or the Nativity
Early 15th century stone cross, the shaft of which was found buried in Hempsted churchyard
We return alongside the River Severn which is very full and flowing fast for mince pies and port.
