All
Jill gets the show on the road on Chedworth Aerodrome
Soon having a brief pause as we cross a road
Chance for me to continue with my new photography project
Taking photos of ladies taking photos of GPO pillar boxes
We follow a woodland track
Past snowdrops
And head along the top of the hill
Coming out with views of Withington
Down into the village
Past the Old Mill
With its mill stream
We leave the village
Some early blossom
More snowdrops and beehives
Following the River Coln
A stone garden ornament
And a wooden one
Get dressed or catch your death of cold - and watch out for the spider
We follow the road along the old railway
To reach the river again
Meandering through the meadows
As it heads down the valley
A pause for coffee
Casey Compton across the fields
Flooding
From the swollen river
We start uphill
More flooding down the valley
It's been a hard walk and some decide to take a shortcut back
The rest of us carry on through woods keeping an eye open for Robin Hood
On along the track
And yes there was plenty of mud
But the end is in sight
And we are rewarded with views across the rolling Cotswold countryside
Back onto the aerodrome - could those be mangel wurzels?
We spot the cars
And are soon gratefully getting out of muddy boots
