Hangman’s Stone near Northleach was our starting point. No idea of its origin, other than the theory that it marked the site of parish boundaries, where such deeds were often done. A good stretch from there over to the lush village of Farmington, followed by a quick...
A brilliant 11-mile route from Rendcomb to Chedworth, with the autumn colours just starting to appear. Good fun with a great group of friends on this energetic walk. Still time for some cake, though!
Five members of GOG enjoyed a stunning autumnal walk of just over four miles, taking in Painswick Beacon, Spoonbed Hill and Holcombe Farms. It was lovely to welcome a new walker and catch up with friends from the group. We enjoyed walking at a social pace, taking...
It was a week of bridges, waterfalls and heather, based in a beautiful house in Teesdale. The group enjoyed good weather and varied walking across moors, along riversides, past waterfalls and through villages. A great time was had by all!

The weather was kind on our six-mile, mid-week walk from Kemerton. Flat fields, long views, pretty villages and lunch in the sun to finish. May the autumn last for more days like these!
Woodlands Activity Centre in Cwmbach was our base for the weekend Wye Valley walking trip. The centre provided individual rooms, catering facilities and a great place to relax after walking. Day one was a delightful 9-miler from Bredwardine, bringing us into...
An unexpected autumnal mizzle to start today’s walk from Malvern, but it didn’t take long for the views to emerge. Our 10-mile figure of eight took in the Wyche, Jubilee Pinnacle and Black Hill, as well as Worcestershire Beacon. No time to stop at the tea shop in the...
A lovely 7.5-mile meander from Minchinhampton towards Avening, with a few interesting stiles along the way. Our lunch spot at Cherington Church provided a chance to glimpse Brian Trubshaw’s gravestone, marking his lifetime achievements flying Concorde. Lots of chat,...
Sunday’s 10-mile jaunt offered a grand opportunity to catch up with a number of past members whilst appreciating the warmth of the late summer sun. Our tour from Coates Village Hall took in pretty Tarlton en route and provided glimpses of Kemble Airport. Finally, a...
