Next walk

We're still working towards our ascent of Pen Y Fan but the date keeps slipping! However we have a date now for the next walk - May 29th. This time we'll be heading off south towards Wotton or Old Sodbury to do a circular walk with a starting point on the Cotswold Way- so either

10: Wotton-under-Edge
As rich farmland gives way to woodland tracks and rolling parkland, this enchanting walk leads you from scarp top to valley bottom, back into one of the Cotswold’s most charming and thriving small towns. With spectacular views, intriguing shops and historic architecture, all tastes will find something wonderful in this special little corner of the Cotswolds.
Distance: 5 miles (6½ with detour to Newark Park)
Duration: 3 - 4 hours (4 - 5 hours with detour)
Difficulty: Moderate – Stiles and steep sections.

or
11. Old Sodbury - The Hill Fort and Church
From the delightful village of Old Sodbury, follow the Cotswold Way up to the serenity of a medieval church, around oak-fringed farmland and along shaded paths to the breath-taking outcrop of an iron-age hillfort. Views, history, peace and rest all combine to make this simple little stroll a wonderful taster of the southern Cotswolds.
Distance: 2½ miles
Duration: 1½ - 2 hours
Difficulty: Easy to moderate – no stiles, steepish slopes.

We'll have a discussion closer to the date when we know better what sort of weather we'll be up against and also checked out the quality of the local pubs.
