Personal Comments: We were lavishly entertained last night by James and Tor (short for Victoria). They took us out for a meal and a few drinks at the Cat and Custard pot near to Westonbirt. Whilst we were in the pub (Harry and Wills go in there sometimes) we passed the Macmillan tin around, and we took some good money, well done locals. This morning Tor gave us all breakfast to set us up for the day. Thanks again James and the lovely Tor.
Quite bleak early on, but it soon picked up as the day wore on. Back to Hillesley to start at the Fleece. Following The Cotswolds Way Wooton-under-edge soon came into view, and the showers were keeping at bay. On heading northwest we passed through North Nibley, and went on to ascend Stitchcombe hill, well, it was there so we had to climb it, because I am reading the map. Over to our right we passed through a golf course, as it was nearing dinner-time, we were on the lookout for a chip shop, we found one in Dursley. Meat pie, chips and peas, in a bag! I think it's a quaint old Gloucester custom, but it was very good.
Through Dursley we found a path to take us under the M5 down an underpass, and on to Slimbridge. At the canal we had a cup of tea and waited for Andrew he soon found us, so another day done, and the sun was still shining.
