Day 16 Winchcombe to Stow on the Wold
We set off this morning under a watery sun. Today was to be one of the longer days so experimental sock wearing was unwise. Luckily, Janet returned to the old configuration before any damage was done.
The first part of today’s stroll included a fairly steep and slippery climb which opened out onto a meadow giving spectacular views over Winchcombe. I took heaps of photos but the hazy conditions, and my ineptitude, meant that they could have been photos of anything. We did pass this interesting tree though.
Rather foolishly Janet had booked us into the White Hart at Stow otherwise we could have enjoyed the delight of the accommodation we found advertised in a farm yard.
Today’s route, for Mattie’s benefit is under construction. I hope to be able to show OS Maps rather than Google but am awaiting my OS Developer Key
What was your route today. Did you go via upper and lower Slaughter, I noticed that this was a possible option. I remember a weekend of dance in that area, possibly with Bedlams + Bristol circa 1981 but it was a long time ago. Will you be providing a daily mileage/cumulitive totals for us anoraks out there + the SOTS (sawn off toothbrush society). A bientot – Mattie.
Mattie, yes I’ve been collecting all of this stuff but I’m not sure how to display it yet. It seems to take ages to load on the page so I will have a think. Passed the Donnington brewery today and also stopped at a pub for a pint of their Best Bitter.
