Huddled together for warmth in the Cripplegate Car Park
Tim leads us over to the topograph - no time to stop
But we do
If only to watch a couple
Of border collies being put through their paces
Then it's off into the mist
Over to the trig point on Haresfield Beacon
No point looking at the view
Following the Cotswold Way we pass the Cromwell Stone
Still very gloomy
Past the old well
Guess this means something
Looking up into the woods
Our first stop
Soon heading uphill
Spotted something in the garden - should we tell them they are leaning on an electric fence?
Heading downhill again
Looking over to Whiteshill
Soon reaching the village
Yes, it's artificial
That too
Round to Ruscombe
The famous village spring
Hidden away below us
As we climb back up
Houses sprawling down the valley
Stopping for our second break we watch a gardener hard at work
Before continuing uphill
And into Standish Woods
Bringing up the rear
As we walk through the woods
With a last look down into the valley
