A longer more challenging walk from Stonehouse starting by the railway station we followed the Cotswold Way for a while. Through Randwick and up into the woods. A coffee stop with mulled wine provided by the leader David. Then through Standish Woods to Shortwood and the topograph. Along to Haresfield Beacon. Back through Oxlynch and past Standish Hospital which closed in 2004 - still with curtains hanging and some hospital furniture inside. Finally a loop over Moreton Hill and back to the start
