My Country Walks



Welcome to my new blog following my move to the Cotswolds in early 2018.

Previously living on the edge of Dartmoor I shared details of my walks on Dartmoor on my previous blog My Dartmoor Walks. As I explore this new area I will share details of the routes here.

Tuesday 3rd February 2026 - Northleach

Another wet walk! Just 3 of us today. The forecast was for rain for the whole day and that's what happened - but it was not as heavy as predicted, mainly light rain. The ground is so wet and slippery. This wasn't a strenuous walk, just over 10 miles with 800 feet ascent. We headed towards Hampnett avoiding a very muddy footpath and then on to Yanworth, returning through Upper End and Farmington partly on the Diamond Way. A good day to test out the gear!
