Waiting for Ann to start
Our route takes us to the Roundabouts
As we head uphill
Some interesting gate posts
I washed my hair and can't do a thing with it
We continue along Besbury Common
Looking down into the valley
Must be the new coffee lounge
We regain the road
And, after crossing Hyde Hill, continue along the valley
Pausing for coffee as we enter Cowcombe Woods
As we follow a woodland track things get a little damp
Yes, the path goes through the middle
The remains of old quarry buildings
On through the woods and across Cowcombe Hill
To descend on the other side
Over the railway
And down into Chalford Valley
Where we follow the canal path
Between river and canal with the Brunel Viaduct to our left
Past the old round house
St Mary's church behind us
Taking to the road due to an underwater towpath where we spot this character
As we make our way back to the start.
