12 members drove to The Daneway Inn for a 7 mile ramble, led by Mary Saunders. The route took in the village of Edgeworth with it’s church and Manor House. Mary told us about the ‘Unwrapping of an Egyptian Mummy’ at Edgeworth Manor House in 1851. An interesting tale! We walked through woodland and meadows with some steep sections before walking up the valley opposite Pinbury Park House. The route eventually brought us back to Sapperton and then along the old canal side back to The Daneway.

Nine of us enjoyed a 5.2 mile walk starting at The Dog Inn, Old Sodbury. The weather was dry and very humid. Stuart led us on a walk that took in parts of The Jubilee Way, Monarch Way and The Cotswold Way. It was a fairly flat walk with one steep climb followed by a descent which led to St John The Baptist church at Old Sodbury. After walking through the church grounds we were met with a magnificent view across the Severn Valley. On returning to the pub all nine of us enjoyed a well deserved drink and meal.

The ramble this month was 6.2 miles long, starting and ending at The Kings Head in Upton-St-Leonards. The weather was perfect – sunny but not too hot. We had to negotiate 16 stiles and 5 gates, and a long steep climb but the views from the top were magnificent if a little hazy. Besides the village lanes, fields of yellow buttercups with cattle, sheep and horses, we also walked along woodland pathways in the Kites Hill Reserve.
