Lawrence has chosen Stamages Lane CP as our starting point
And we head out through the Churchyard
Looking at the weather forecast we are tempted to spend the morning in Church
Through the narrow streets of Painswick
My kind of cat
Primroses show spring is imminent
Now making our way down into the valley
Our progress being closely monitored by Devon Reds
The Painswick stream gurgles down in the valley
Having just cascaded over a waterfall
Past Tocknells Court
And another landmark
Still following the Painswick stream
And farmhouses nestling in the bottom of the valley as we make our way uphill
More signs of Spring
Stopping for coffee on Cranham Common
Downhill out of Cranham
Carefully over the stream at the bottom
Then an uphill climb
To Coopers Hill Nature Reserve
Where we follow a woodland track
Don't think they will be any good for the car
Round the bottom of Painswick Beacon
The wind has been busy at Catbrain (didn't know they had one) Quarry
Heading towards the Walkers CP
Some doubt cast as to the veracity of the sign on the garage door
The last stretch back into Painswick
Past the lych gate and back to the car park
