Mulled wine and mince pies kindly provided by our walk leaders Sarah and Dave.
Then out from Charlton Kings and steeply up to Whistley Hill to join the Cotswold Way to Severn Springs and Leckhampton Hill. Lunch on the top as the sun shone all around but not on us! Down through the woods with an excellent and different view of the chimney, on to the disused lime kilns. Down the tramway track to Daisybank Road and finally down Sandy Lane to return to the start.
8.5 miles and 1400 feet of ascent.
Steeply up through Timbercombe
Not much space for passing
