What is Keith doing in the car park on Rodborough Common?
Copying the poster in this car. No mention of Yoga for Ramblers. Perhaps we don't need it.
Nine on Catherine's walk
We set off across the common
With good views of Stroud
On the Jubilee Bridge on the canal
We cut through to the London Road by this strangely-named building, which Alex tells me used to be a pub
No wonder kids can't spell or write!
We can look back to where we started
Teasels look good
Into the woods above the London Road
The sheep suddenly all race off in the same direction as the farmer and his dog appear
Wild strawberries
Water lilies on the lake at Toadsmoor
We follow the stream into the woods
Banks of rock roses
And lady's bedstraw
At Bismore Farm this ram looks up from his dish
The new/clean roof makes this house very visible
Two of us slip on this wet, newly cut grassy path
Might have been an orchard once
Very tranquil spot
With a lovely fuchsia
At Brimscombe Port
We ascend up towards Bownham Common where we stop by this rose
Keith finds this cat (see photo from Thursday evening 7 July - same boots and trousers, different cat)
Seems to like a bit of fuss
As does another member of its family. We then continue uphill, moaning about the humidity, to the car park.
