Distance - 11.5 Miles
Geocaches - 3
Walk Inspiration - 100 Walks in Gloucestershire, Walk
I know I've walked from Symonds Yat in the past, yet for some reason, I have never blogged from here. Two potential reasons for this - 1) it was pre-blogging days or 2) I was still in shock from the parking fees.
£5 for 4 hours that required actual cash - which no-one has seen for at least 12 months. The question is, will I be able to complete 11.5 miles in 4 hours?
At least there will be no pubs to distract.
It's a endless steep drop from the car park, down the east side on the Yat, with the smell of garlic in my nostrils. Worth it for the peace and tranquility when the valley floor is reached.

East walking along a disused railway - view unspoiled until we reach the light industry opposite the out of bounds Welsh Bicknor.

That's your lot... I forgot to photo the scarecrows |
Back into the Forest to drop down and pick up the river again, for the three geocaches available on route.
