Tuesday 4th March 2025 Cleeve Hill

 A walk mainly around the edge of Cleeve Hill on some paths most of hadn't walked before including some off piste bits too.  A good opportunity to see just how much the west and east sides of the hill have been quarried. A beautiful sunny morning, cold at first but quite warm later. A more demanding walk than anticipated. 7 miles with 1250 feet asecent.

From the club house

Through some difficult terrain to come out just below the iconic two trees.

Then on the Cotswold Way for a while.
