South Cotswold Ramblers

Brian wants a group photo for the start of the New Year so we all gather at Amberley War Memorial

We head past the back of Amberley Ridge and the Bear to Rodborough Common

Where people look at the Dog Tree (decorated every Christmas)

You can see across to the River Severn

We stop at Rodborough Fort where there is clearly work going on

Brian and Sheelagh bring port to toast in the New Year

We head towards Private Road and the ice cream factory, passing the now famous Lonely Tree which was blown down recently

And is fondly remembered by local people, some even leaving flowers
