2011 Plans
Next walk planned is in April but not sure where we're going yet but June sees us off to the Gower for a weekend away and September we're going to give Snowdon another go. Even if the weather beats us again it's easy to find some wonderful lower level walks.

Bourton and The Slaughters
Starting in Upper Slaughter we walked through to Lower Slaughter alongside the river and although it was a muddy walk it was also very pleasant. Arriving in Bourton we sought out coffee and some very tasty baguettes in one of the riverside pubs.
Feeling in a lazy mood we lingered until the rain started and then made our way back by way of fields and pathways sprinkled with snowdrops.
Back at Upper Slaughter we visited the church and found a shrine with one of the nicest epitaphs you could wish to find. Just got away as the rain started pelting down.

Chalford, Bussage and Ship Hotel at Brimscombe Port
Parked in a layby and made our way across the road and down to the disused canal. Toffee was in her element hunting out waterbirds from the reeds and was soon wet and muddy. It was interesting to be in a more urban setting with lots of interesting mill buildings on the side of the canal. We then went under a tunnel which took us up onto the side of the hill and through a beech wood ending up at the turquoise coloured pond above.
