Sunday 11th August 2019 Winchcombe Recce

Whilst I have walked this before I decided to do a recce for the walk I'm leading in a couple of weeks.

From Winchcombe following the Winchcombe Way to Belas Knap, Wontley Farm, Cleeve Hill and Nottingham Hill almost to the railway station at Gotherington. Local footpaths to Far Stanley and then returning to Winchcombe over Langley Hill on the Gloucestershire Way.

Just over 11 miles and 1600 feet ascent.







Rain as I went up the hill leaving Winchcombe behind.

Cleeve Hill.........the masts

....Cleeve Hill.........golfers........

......Cleeve Hill.........the Topograph

Over Nottingham Hill and you can just make out the Malvern Hills.  The sun came out too.

Thursday 20th June 2019 Winchcombe

The last of the evening walks. Starting at Winchcombe and out around the Castle. On to St Kenelms Well and then up to the Salt Way. Returning from near Monk's Hole down the hill and through the very inquisitive cattle. Back to Winchcombe on Puck Pit Lane.

5.5 miles and 900 feet ascent.
