Monday Evening 22nd March 2020 Stanton to Snowshill

An evening walk from Stanton to Snowshill. Initially I followed the Winchcombe Way to just above Laverton and then took a direct path up to the top to rejoin the Winchcombe Way. Then across towards Buckland Wood and back on the Winchcombe Way down steeply before coming back up to Snowshill. From here it was across to Shenberrow Hill to take the Cotswold way back down to Stanton.

Just over 7 miles 1450 feet ascent.

Saturday 6th June 2020 Chipping Campden

A solo circular walk from Chipping Campden to Hidcot Bartrim. A cool blustery day with a mixed bag of weather. I had not previously walked in this area and it is always good to explore new places.

10 miles and 810 feet ascent.
