A 10 mile solo walk from Cold Aston and a recce for another day later in the year. With the promise of higher temperatures I started walking at 7:30am. Major road works in Cold Aston which will go on until October! Initially on the path around Folly Farm then on the Gloucestershire Way to Notgrove to Salperton.
