It was raining heavily as a small group met at Coaley peak
Waterproofs on, we set off along the Cotswold way. Malcolm met us at Crawley hill as he arrived late and gradually the waterproofs came off for our climb onto Cam Longdown
Up and over
Woolly Thistle amongst the wild flowers of Longdown
After enjoying the view, we carry on towards Dursley
Past the Turkey Oak
We enjoy a coffee break in Highfields park
Karen discusses the footpath she hasn't used 'yet'!
Heading towards Uley
Comma butterfly posses on the bramble
Past the old Lime tree into Uley village
Where we pause for a lunch stop in the shade
Anyone see QI recently ?
Malcolm leaves us to head up Uley Bury
the rest of us go up the valley to Cockadilly
Across to Nympsfield
Ongoing plant sale, healthy plants too!
And back to sunny Coaley peak where the views are better after the storm
