Starting in Andoversford. Our route took us through Sevenhampton, Whittington, along the Cotswold Way, the other side of Dowdeswell Reservoir and Lower Dowdeswell. Sunny but with a cool breeze higher up. A slightly longer walk today, 11.6 miles with 1355feet ascent.
Church of St Andrew, Sevenhampton

Through Whittington and past the various quarries
On to the Cotswold Way
Around the other side of Dowdeswell reservoir where the permissive path was very muddy. The frosted ground mad the going a little easier.
St Michael's church, Lower Dowdeswell
The old crumbling wall around Sandywell Park
Then alongside the now retired point-to-point racing track in Sandywell Park Showground. Just one of the four old fences remain, the other have now been removed.
After 48 years of point-to-point racing the last races were run in 2023
