John resplendent in yellow jacket in the Leisure Centre Car Park
Everybody ready to go
Heading off through the Park
Along the model railway
Then uphill towards Callowell
Continuing up into the mist
Having a rest
Approaching Sherman's Wood
Trees standing sentry
Down a bank
And over a stile into Pitchcombe Wood
The view across the valley
As we follow a woodland path
Bruce Trail? Canada's longest footpath
A new gateway brings us onto Edge Common
Where we pick up the Cotswold Way
And follow it down into the valley
Painswick not far off
Past an old mill
Into Painswick with its old Lych Gate
And into the churchyard for lunch
Then down into the valley - watch your ankles
And along the Painswick Stream
Stopping for a chat
Then following a narrow road to Sheephouse
A steep slope carefully negotiated
A bit of hedge trimming going on
A buzzard on a telegraph pole
On our right a new herd of alpacas
As we head back into Stratford Park
