John and Sally took 13 walkers for a 4.5 mile walk, starting from the Village Hall in the village of Brimpsfield. We were blessed with a beautiful warm, sunny morning, but the paths were very wet and slippery from rain over the last few days.
Walking through woodland and hidden valleys, we came to Caudle Green and then returned to our starting point before driving to The Royal George at Birdlip for our lunch.

The 4.8 mile walk started at The Lamb Inn, Eastcombe and took us down through the Toadsmoor Valley and woods, before climbing up to open ground at Lypiatt with views over the Stroud Valleys and the Severn beyond.
More woodland paths took us back towards Eastcombe but unfortunately three of us got attacked by stinging insects resulting in Angela going to A&E.
Nevertheless, we enjoyed the walk and stayed dry which was a bonus.

We took the Macmillan Way through the Silk Wood and then crossed fields to reach the pretty hamlet of Willesley, before returning via the grounds of Westonbirt School.
