Coaley Peak walk - Wednesday 15 November 2017
Peter took this photo of the view from Coaley Peak*
A rainbow appeared at the start of the walk*
It's a rainbow. Pot of gold somewhere near Frocester
Could be a pot at each end. We gather at Coaley Peak
May Hill poking out of the mist
As we stand on one of the viewpoints and look down the Cotswolds with Downham Hill in the distance
Cam Long Down also in sight
Farmers busy in the fields
As we walk through Nympsfield
Watched suspiciously
Past Cockadilly and into the woods
Down into the valley
Another busy farmer
Looking back up the valley
Clear blue sky
Tree has been around a few years
And the old stone bridge
Coffee in Owlpen Churchyard
With those owls on the roof that must be Owlpen Manor
Must have been something we said
Continuing along a wide track
Up the valley
Which we soon leave
Following a steep track
A pause at the top
Then across fields
Through a farmyard
Newmarket in front of us as we make our way down into the valley
Then back up as we are confronted by a beech tree in full Autumn colour
Brian makes himself comfortable for lunch
Climbing back uphill we pass two trees growing together - a maple and a hawthorn
Continuing along the side of the valley
Entering Nympsfield
Past the church with its Lychgate
A fungussy tree
Back to Coaley Peak
