All
Sheila has thoughtfully brought a collapsible stool to help us on the permissive path near Hawkwood
She points out a shallow quarry
Long since abandoned
A very misty morning disappointingly obscuring wide views over Stroud
More Autumnal scenes
Wait for the photographer
Up we go
To the viewpoint across to Swifts Hill (not today though)
Coffee stop
And a group photo
Now downhill on a public footpath - any guesses?
Patrick has found a pheasant-like object
We reach the farm with white-faced Hereford cattle
And the bull!
We turn past Hammonds Farm
Whiteshill area in view - just about!
Nearing Hawkwood, we pass the community farm and a micro-dairy
More Autumn trees - what a season!
And into Hawkwood
Lots of info
The spring
And our return route
