The fifth section from Cam Peak to Haresfield beacon car park. We were dropped at the car park just below Cam Peak. The Cotswold Way doesn't go over the peak but four of us decided to do this an meet the other on the path just below. Then over Cam Long Down before going steeply down and up again to walk on the escarpemnt to Coaley Peak with fantastic views across the river Severn. On to Kings Stanley and down to cross the canal then gently up to Westrip, Maiden Hill and finally through Standish Wood.10.5 mles and 2353 feet ascent.
