A cold morning on Windy Ridge. Mike gathers the group together for the second stage of the Wysis Way
As we leave Bisley
A short stretch of road leading through Stancombe
Through a cottage garden
Following a narrow path
As we head to the bottom of the valley
Uphill again
Past the cottages used in Cider with Rosie
Watched by the inmates of a racing yard
And up the other side
Where we pause for coffee
Continuing downhill
Approaching Damsells Farm
And Mike stops to tell the story of the kissing gate and seat
Standing on the side of the main road
And up Painswick Beacon
And down the Severn
We stop in the shelter of an old quarry for lunch
Heading for Cud Hill
Then on down into the valley
And on to the golf course
A rest before we get ready for the final push
And down over Gloucester
Gathering round the Beacon, Topograph and Trig Point
Yes we are on the right track
Better be careful
Plenty of wild garlic
And down into the valley
A brief stretch on the Laurie Lee Way
And pause while Jill explains the importance of our current path
Don't think that tractor will be going far
And on the road to Trillgate
Down into a steep sided valley
Now at Bulls Cross
Overlooking Painswick
More wild garlic
Where we follow the new permissive path
Now climbing up to Paradise
Then through the woods
Where we have views over to May Hill
Starting our descent
Before continuing down the Beacon
And the Blow Family monument
Crossing the motorway
Where Keith talks to some cows in the next field
A look down over the new motorway service area
Reaching the top of Robinswood Hill
Before heading down into the valley to the car park
