Leaving the Old Station CP in Tetbury we cross a stream and head up steps
Pounding the streets of Tetbury
To reach the fields
Where we find a stile which has seen better days - reported by John
Through a herd of friendly cows
Ready to pass the time of day
Continuing in the morning sunshine
And Autumn colours
As we circle a field
Then it's coffee and John hands out cake
An interesting cross country jump
Harvest over for another year
Now heading towards Avening
Pausing to examine a new wall
Then on into the village where we notice that the Cross Inn is now the Queen Matilda
Wonder if someone will say that about me one day
Ready for the little children to go walking
We stop for lunch in the churchyard
First arrivals get the seat
The rest making themselves comfortable on tombstones
They look set for the day
Time to go uphill
Jersey Lilies I am told
Out of Avening
Looking across the valley towards Gatcombe
Old mans beard on top of a wall
Now on top of the world
As we make our way across
Towards Chavenage
For birds and insects
And anything else that flies
Perhaps an al fresco bath
Now in sunlit woods
Soon reaching the road into Tetbury
Not sure what we are leaving
Should have gone to Specsavers
A hard walk and a reminder that not everybody made it
