Almost Halfway There
Cut Off
Haresfield Beacon Topograph Started at Shortwood Spur close to Haresfield Beacon and walked back to Painswick. A particularly good way to do this stretch as it gave me the oppoprtunity to lunch at Olivas again in Painswick - highly recommended. Along the way is a fascinating memorial known as the Cromwell Stone which commemorates the raising of the seige in Gloucester on 5th September 1643 by the troops of Charles I during the English Civil War. A little further on is the 1870 well house at Cliff, but sadly the well winch is no longer operable. Not too far from Painswick is the marker for Bath 55 miles, Chipping Campden 47 miles - so from my starting point this morning at Shorthill Spur I must be only a few yards from half way.
Today I enjoyed my first handfuls of blackberries of the year. Not too many ripe yet but the next few weeks looks promising.
