Hullavington Ramblers
Sunday Aug 20th 06
Walk Around Leighterton

Meet outside the pub in Leighterton  for a 10:30 start.

Apologies for being a bit late with the details, but here they are at last

 Leighterton is 4 miles  NW ish from Sherston  and is a delightful wee village with pond , ducks,  Cotswold stone buildings,   Archers’ impersonators etc.  If anyone needs directions to the start, let me know

   The walk is from  Leighterton and meanders  into the gently inclining Ozelworth Bottom. A small group of us did this before, but  did not  do the Ozelworth Bottom bit, which is really the  highlight of the walk.  It’s  6 miles  and, as mentioned, there is the odd incline. But Ozelworth  Bottom is worth it. If you come along you’ll see what I mean.   If for any reason someone wants to  shorten the walk, it is possible to cut out the Ozelworth Bottom bit (still a very nice walk with views down into it)   and we can meet back at the Pub in Leighterton. 

 The weather for Sunday is warm with  sun and a few clouds (click on this link to see forecast  (http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5day.shtml?id=3456)

 I was in Leighterton today and we cannot park in the pub car park as  they are very busy on a Sunday  with lunches; they tell me that the lunchers can’t find room in the car park, so we would only make it worse. But there is plenty of road parking  in the village, so no problems.

 The pub   only does a roast lunch on Sunday’s which, I’m told, is fully digestible.  We have had  meals in the pub before  and they have been OK and value for money.

 If anyone is running late on the day, you can contact me on my mobile for a slagging off    07811141921
