A gloomy day but Colin is ready to lead us off after greeting a few new faces
Looks like fun
Lots of calves out with their mums
They can't all be hers
How cute!
No wonder he looks tired
We see Pinbury Park across the valley
As we make our way
Round the pond
Watched from on high
Meanwhile the sheep are below on the valley slopes
A pause for Jill to explain the history of Pinbury Park
Then we descend
To the ford
Before climbing into the woods
Lichen on some old logs
Now out of the woods and into a field of buttercups
Mother and foal enjoying the buttercups
Another foal
And getting ready for the polo season
Our path now takes us towards Edgeworth
Imagine a sheep slipping out of a straight jacket
Now along the side of another valley
Over a stile
Is this self-heal someone?
Looking downhill
No we haven't decided to allow cats on walks
Along the driveway of Tunley House
A short climb through a cottage garden
And over to Daneway Banks looking down on Daneway House
We stop for lunch
A rather splendid seat for some
Commemorating the visit of Prince Charles
A look back along Daneway Banks
A quick look at an information board and most of the group head for Siccaridge Woods
Others find an alternative route back
Past the Daneway Portal
And up the valley
To Sapperton
