Ray, backmarker and Allen, leader of our 11 mile Dursley Festival Walk - Vale and Trail
The Channel 4 Grand Designs Tree House - well hidden
Off we go towards ...
Lower Cam and its church
Autumn is on the way
The morning walk is fairly level
We pass Cam Peak
Someone enjoying an Autumn bonfire
An attractive display
I catch the group for a photo
Before our coffee stop at Coaley
More Autumn tints
Selsley Common over there
Must be nearly lunchtime
Delicious freebies
Passing the former post office
We lunch in Leonard Stanley churchyard
Then set off for the big climb of the day
Up Gypsy Lane to the top of the Cotswolds
Where someone has banned us from Open Access land
Shown on the OS map - but it is very steep
We head to the viewpoint
The message on the gate says it all
Wow, what a panorama to the Malverns and Wales
Does this help?
We climb up to Nympsfield
And immediately downhill
Past an old quarry
Arriving near Uley Bury where we regroup
Then down past the farm
An a steep up to Cam Long Down
Made it! Yet more views
Including over to Cam Peak below
A cloudy day, apart from a gap in the clouds highlighting the odd field
Back in Dursley
We pop in the Old Spot for a drink
All except Alex, who doesn't want to miss the bus
