Cripplegate Car Park at Haresfield - Mike standing in for Denys
We make our way over to the topograph and check out our surroundings
Then we head downhill
Looking across to Vinegar Hill
A pause for Mike to give us a running commentary on what we can see
On downhill passing some old farm carts
Into a farmyard
Some early daffs
We make our way through Oxlynch
Lovely views
A thatched cottage
Then up through the woods
Dwarfed by tall trees
And overtaken by a pack of dogs
Views down into the Severn Valley
Or looking out over Stroud
A glimpse of Haresfield Beacon through the trees
Primroses starting to appear
Mike points out where Ramblers used to mark the Cotswold Way with a yellow painted spot.
We continue along the Cotswold Way
Can't go wrong
Bruce Trail? Is in central Ontario - did Mike take a wrong turning?
More views over to the Severn as we make our way back to the cars.
