Cotswolds at Christmas

The freezing weather conditions meant that our walking was very limited. We walked from the caravan site into the village each day, including Christmas morning for Family Communion. This was a round trip of about 5km on very icy ground, walking sticks essential. Now back home we are waiting to see what the New Year brings, drier weather hopefully and the opportunity to lengthen the distance walked carrying our packs.

Winter Walking

The very wet weather has left the local footpaths very boggy, especially where the cattle have been standing in the gateways.
Most of our walking recently has been on the country roads nearby. We walk about 7km, taking just over an hour and a half to do so. Ultimately it should be possible to walk about 15km as a circular tour once some of the paths have dried out - probably next spring!!

Meanwhile our ferry tickets are booked and we have the excitement of planning our route in Spain.
