Full English breakfast at Cheltenham Townhouse
Shopping in town
Bought Ordinance Survey map of Cotswolds
Quick stop at bike shop about rentals, but to no avail. so we decided on a hike of the Cotswold Way and hatched a plan to hike from Cleve's Hill to Winchcombe and then take a bus back to the car.
Drove to Cleve's Hill and parked car
Walked along road to golf course
Sign about adders coming out of hibernation
Started wrong direction, set straight by family on trail
Up over golf course
Got a little confused about multiple paths by farm and nice estate and signage, assisted by family and elderly couple
We finally were able to see a highly anticipated adder on trail in pasture, it was small and harmless, but we were ready.
Up top top of plateau along dry wash,hard climb
Along top of hill with view of Winchcombe
Through the abandonded farm
Belas Knap
Through the fields with newly born lambs, numbers painted on each to match with the ewes.
Walked the streets of Wynchcomb, water, ice cream and a last minute bathroom stop. Waited at the bus stop with the locals.
Bus to car park
Dinner with Hertz' at Nandos restaurant
