In the Walkers car park Colin hopes we will get back before it rains
Whereupon it immediately start raining
A delay while someone is briefly lost
Then we head steeply downhill
Andrew holding up a branch that is in the way of the stile
The first mud we've seen for weeks
Past Damsells Farm
Cows keen to see us
Very curious
Heads through the fence (more cows later!)
No chance of playing on this while we have coffee
Looking across to the A46
A steep climb
Gloucester Old Spot piglets
Sheepscombe. We don't stop
An unusual clematis
The church, quite a climb from Sheepscombe village
This is where we are
Looking back to Sheepscombe and the cricket pitch
Someone is having a party
A damp lunch
All in a line
They don't look any better close up!
We negotiate a field of extremely frisky cattle - very glad to have an ex-dairy farmer as our leader
We watch anxiously as a group of DOE lads go through the already wound up cattle but they take our advice to go slowly and we continue back to Painswick
