May trip looking for butterflies on Cam Long Down Previous Next All We set off through Coaley Wood still stunning with Wild Garlic we meet some friends and stop for a chat obeying the 2 metre rule and a bit. View over the Severn Valley with a Dexter cow and calf As we join the Cotswold Way this poster says it all The Maize is spouting We climb uphill onto Cam Longdown, a couple of walkers heading down The May blossom on top View along the escarpment towards Coaley Peak The warden was out looking for Dingy Skipper butterflies and we think this is one Along the bridle way toward Hydegate kennels Still shut because of Covid 19 can you see someone watching from the Treehouse? Wisteria in full bloom We climb up onto Uley Bury where I insist on a water stop! By this time it’s late in the afternoon so the footpath around the Bury is quiet. We notice an aeroplane above Then we head for home down the Cotswold Way again into Coaley Wood Past the Ancient coppiced Beech tree The power lines give us a lovely view over the vale Photos and captions by Sue J, uploaded by Sally
