Willian Tyndale was born in 1484 in the nearby village of North Nibley. He completed the first translation of the bible into English.
Next down to North Nibley and through the fields to climb up the escarpment a second time to Stinchcombe Hill. A stop here for lunch but a heavy shower prompted us to move on around the golf course and the edge of the Stinchcombe Hill.
Next steeply down to Dursley for the final section through the fields and the coll between Cam Peak and Cam Long Down.
Just over 9 miles and 1700 feet ascent.

Lots of people and dogs enjoying the walk through the woods.
