Richard leads us off through Painswick on his 10 mile walk
First up to Sheephouse
And the first of several climbs
Up Juniper Hill
Andrew takes a closer look
One of the new poetry stations around the Laurie Lee walk - April Rise
After a coffee break at Bulls Cross we set off along Longridge
Sunny spells in Painswick
Heading towards Jack's Green
Another consolidation stop
What has Richard spotted?
He'd rather not be rambling!
Down into Sheepscombe past the alpacas/vicunas/llamas* delete as inappropriate
You name them - we saw them!
A drag up from the stream into Sheepscombe
How do you do!
Followed by another steep ascent
To Cranham Common for lunch
We head through Saltridge Common woods
And up by Brook Farm
To Cranham Common
And through the village
To Buckholt Wood where we turn left back along the Cotswold Way
Across the Golf Course
With its views of the morning section along Longridge and through Sheepscombe. For the record the walk was 10.25 miles long, max height 909 feet, minimum 250 feet, height ascended 1,868 feet in 4 climbs.
