February RG – Woodchester, Selsley

Thursday 23rd February
Ramblers Group

Woodchester – Selsley

led by Allison Hope (see a copy of the poster here)

Our February ramble was a 5 mile walk starting in North Woodchester.  We walked through fields and woodland leading up on Selsley Common, where the strong winds from ‘Storm Doris’ made the going quite difficult, until we descended again through the Vineyards leading down to Woodchester Park and South Woodchester.  From there we returned to our starting point and then drove back to the Britannia Inn, Nailsworth for our lunch.

Local Mystery Walk – led by Mike Harvey (view poster here)

We had our first ramble today.  So lucky with the weather!  It  was a 7 mile local walk from Nailsworth, up through Box onto the Common, across to Burleigh, on to Winstones Ice Cream shop, then back via Amberley and Theesecombe.  A good meal as always at Egypt Mill.
