Royal William at Cranham. Mike looking serious.
Leads us off up the road
Along the lower slopes of the Beacon
Following the Cotswold Way
Lots of colour
Coffee with cake supplied by Heather
Stand always brings out the exhibitionist in Mike
Continuing round the Beacon
A handy seat
Starting to climb
Getting steeper
Should be red berries there somewhere
Heading over the top of the hill
A burning bush?
On the golf course. The Beacon in the distance
And getting closer
As we walk round the edge of Catbrain Quarry
Then climbing up the Beacon
And pausing at the top to take in the views
Which include a couple of Gloucester cattle
And wide expanses of open countryside
She's back
Starting to make our descent
Through more beechwoods
Passed these on the way out. They don't seem to have moved
Nearly back
