Geocaches - 2
Walk Inspiration - Jarrold - More Cotswolds - Walk 24
A walk in celebration of my new Guide Book, which plopped through the post box earlier this week.
Why all that rushing around? |
That is until I get home 6 hours after leaving this morning and get a greeting from Sonia along the lines of "Where the bloody hell have you been?"
The walk is from the perennial favourite Guidebook, Jarrold. Very rarely disappointed by the walks in here and this one has been marked as "todo" in my list for the last two years.
Armed with all the knowledge of Eastleach and the promise of "noble oases of peace", I head off under dark grey skies.
This is agricultural Cotswolds and not much to report until we hit the Leach Valley.

What do you folks get up to on your weekends?
You can see what happens next |
Did we give permission for you to hide in our house? |

But there is a potential problem.
Victoria Inn Ahead |
Oh No - Its Arkell's |
Blogfans will know that I have been doing a lot of walking in this area on the Ridgeway. And I have been asking questions of the local brewer Arkells. I have tried two different beers in two different pubs and been massively underwhelmed.
Giving the benefit of the doubt and hoping for third time lucky, I go for a 3B.
And the result?
There is a reason why all the other punters in here are drinking Peroni.
