Leisure Centre CP as we prepare for another assault on the Painswick Valley - this time lead by Jill and Sue
Out past the Mansion
And up into Callowell where the locals are made of stone
Continuing up the valley
Pausing to admire the view
Looking across to Brownshill Court
Now approaching Pitchcombe
With many attractive cottages and houses
Though I wouldn't want to sail in this boat
Carefully crossing the Gloucester Road
To Pitchcombe Church
Attention seeking? - our morning break in the churchyard
With views across the valley to Swifts Hill
We continue round the Church Hall
Passing a fine display of snowdrops
Then follow the path to Edge
Painswick ahead
Tree with carbuncle
A narrow lane
Across a field
And we are down in the valley
We begged Brian not to jump - but very quietly
Our route takes us past Sheephouse
Somebody has been busy in the garden
Sue shepherds us down a slippery slope leading to a footbridge
No comment
Multi cultural alpacas
Some interesting carvings on the stile
Stile erected, path cleared by Cotswold Wardens following pressure from South Cots member Bernard Smith
A very sturdy stile - a bit better than the one it replaced
Sunshine over Selsley
We look down over Badbrook Valley
And Stroud
Soon reaching the lake at Stratford Park
A new, cheaper initiative to solve the pothole problem - run the road down a stream
Making our way back up through the park to the CP
