Jill leads us off after sorting out who is on the South Cotswold walk from the Area walk starting at the same time!
We start gently down the valley to Sheephouse
Impressive Ramblers, well the roses are
Through meadows of long grass
Wooden owls watch us from gate posts
Mike keeps to the path over a wobbly overgrown stile which most of us avoid
A brief pause after climbing Wickridge Hill
Orchids abound alongside our route
Coffee stop at the bottom of Worgan's Wood
A badger on every fence post here
Up the Slad valley but the Woolpack is too far away for a drink stop
A pause at Slad's war memorial before we climb back over the Frith
Painswick is soon in sight
We use the new passage from the church to get back to the cars. Thanks Jill for a lovely walk.
