On 9 November 2013 we started doing The Ice Cream Walk over 12 months. (see preview HERE) | |
This is an 80-mile-walk starting at Winstones on Rodborough Common, heading south towards Bradford on Avon, then following the Mendips to finish on the beach at Uphill near Weston-super-Mare. The object of course is to have an ice cream on every stage. See our photos: | |

============================== Some of our Previous Long Distance Walks ======================== | |
On Saturday 7 September 2013 a group of walkers from South Cotswold Ramblers completed a trek of the 100-mile-long Gloucestershire Way. | |
The choice of route was influenced by local poets, particularly Ivor Gurney and FWHarvey who provided its theme of "Forest and Vale and High Blue Hill". | |
It commences in Chepstow, crosses the county via May Hill and Crickley Hill to Stow-on-the-Wold, then doubles back through Winchcombe to Tewkesbury where it finishes at the Abbey. | |
Our walk was completed in approximately 10-mile-long stages over about 18 months, and the picture above shows usat the end of the walk outside Tewkesbury Abbey. | |
