From Elmley Castle we took the steeper route up Hill Lane almost to the ridge just below the Tower. Then down over Even Hill to Great Comberton. Returning through Little Comberton and Bricklehampton. 7 miles and 800 feet ascent. Perfect walking conditions and much cooler than recently. There were showers around but they missed us!
Co-leading a walk for the Winchombe Walking Festival visiting ancient sites at Spoonley Vilaa and Belas Knap. 17 guests on the walk. Excellent weather except near the end when we had a very heavy shower. 10 miles in all.
A bluebell walk from the church at Huntley. Over Bright's Hill to May Hill village. Through Castle Hill Wood to Glasshouse. Then through Newent Woods to Woodgate returning through Bearfoot Hill and back. With Suzanne and Gill. At one point it turned into a bit of an adventure as we tried to follow a path through the woods which no longer exists. 7 miles with 1200 ft ascent.
Bright Hill
With the Probus group from Winchcombe A walk with spring lambs and spring flowers. Along the High Street, past the football pitch and then follow the path past Postlip Mills.
