This walk is in the past.
This is a medium length walk with some ups and downs but large parts of it will be on top of the Cotswolds with good views if the weather is clear. It will probably be fairly dry underfoot mostly but some of the parts across the bottoms of the valleys in the grass might be a bit wet and muddy.
We will head up to Nibbly Nob and then head South from there towards Wotton-under-Edge, then East to a beautiful valley, then North up towards Dursley and around a plateaux for some good views before heading back to The Black Horse Inn at the end, near the cemetery. (

).
I plan to walk around this at a fairly decent pace but I'm happy to have plenty of stops and breaks.
The mobile number I've given here is an old second one I have. I'll check it for texts in the evenings before the walk. Text me for my new number if you haven't already got it if you are going to come on this walk. For anything more than this please contact me on my new number.
NOTE: I plan to meet you for the start of the walk at the cemetery in North Nibley and I will not be returning to the Water Tower in Bristol after the walk as I will be staying in the Cotswolds for the evening.
So it will be for those meeting at the water tower to organise their own car sharing and their way to the cemetery in North Nibley, but if you do want to call me beforehand about this I'm happy to try to help a bit if I can. I suggest it will probably take 45+ minutes to drive from the water tower to the cemetery.
I am planning for us to actually start walking at 10:45, which means we should be back at the pub at the end in the Cotswolds by 4:30 p.m.
Please come suitably equipped and prepared. Do give me a call if you have any questions.
Bring packed lunch. Pub to finish.
