All
Another hot day. Dave in charge
We head across the busy A46. Mike going to become a chicken farmer
Looking back as we leave Tipputs Inn behind
We follow a narrow footpath
Down into a valley
A short climb
Then a familiar path takes us on downhill
Where trees give brief respite from the sun
Bringing up the rear
Battling our way through undergrowth
A pond on our right
To a familiar cottage
Hares fighting in their garden
Back uphill
With views down the valley towards Avening
Stopping again in the shade of trees
Views across to Minchinhampton
WW1 Blue Plaque Walk
Peaceful campsite
One of the blue plaques
Definitely a right of way
Now heading round the side of the valley
Through Barton End
And across a healthy-looking field of wheat
Before this track takes us back to the Tipputs Inn
Where the sign outside provides some amusement directing us round the back for the front door
But we find our way and soon settle down to lunch
