Starting from the car park next to Warden's Wood on Cleeve Hill. Initially going alonside the Breakheart Plantation, past the abandoned car to Postlipp Mills. Then past Postlip Hall and back on to Cleeve Hill by the little reservoir below the quarries. Up the long valley to the memorial tree, through the butterfly area below the mast and back to the start. 7 miles with 1100 feet ascent
From Barrow Wake on some new paths down through the cycle trails park to Great Witcombe. Then up to the Cotswold Way and on to the Roman Villa for a lunch stop. Around the edge of Cooper's Hill and some particularly muddy terrain. Steeply down the hill towards Brockworth and then steeply back up again. Returning though Brockworth Wood, past The Buckholt through Birdlip and back to the start. By then the group had split into three as our leader seemed to be unsure of the way back. Very muddy in places. 11 miles with 1865 feet of ascent.
A very dull day with one spell of heavy rain. An easy walk starting from the small car park in Critchford Lane going through Guiting Wood, Temple Guiting, Kineton and Guiting Power. 7 miles with 700 feet ascent
Tuesday's walk starting from Willersey. Going through Saintbury, Weston-sub-Edge, Lynches Wood, Weston Park and Broadway. Up and down and then up again! A fine dry sunny day with a cool breeze. Very muddy underfoot. 10 miles and 1240 feet ascent.
