Cirencester Walking Weekend

Walking weekend based in Cirencester


A walking weekend in the Cotswolds

We were joined in the evening by Bill and Jane Irving from the Cirencester Ramblers club, who had offered to take us on guided walks, for them to outline their programme.

After a very good breakfast we drove over to Bibury to meet Bill and Jane. Our walking party numbered 20. We set off on our circular walk of Bibury, with Jane leading and Bill at the rear. Bibury is set in a shallow valley and we walked around the top looking down on the River Coln. At what would have been described as a Kodak moment looking down into the valley Mark was heard to utter
