We are the Gloucestershire Walking Group. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

Meet at 9.45am for 10am start at top of the Stratford Park car park in Stroud
We will walk up to Whiteshill to the community store and then head towards Randwick. En route there may be the opportunity to see some reindeer. Crossing the green in Randwick where the Wap is held, we then climb steeply up to the Cotswold Way. We follow this through Far Westrip with excellent views to both left and right before branching off to climb Doverow Hill. Our route then follows the canal back to Stroud.
There will be a coffee stop and a lunch stop on Doverow Hill.
The walk is a little challenging in places with a steepish ascent.
After the rain we’ve had in recent weeks the route will be quite muddy at times. Walking poles will be useful in places.
Further Information: This walk is arranged by ramblers and is free to join. After 2 or 3 walks we request you become a member of the ramblers. This gives you access to a wide range of walks across the UK, provides assistance with outdoor activity skills and helps to keep public footpaths open.
Do ensure you wear appropriate clothing for the weather and terrain. Walking boots are recommended. Bring poles if you think you'll need them or it has been specifically recommended in the walk description.
You are recommended to carry identification and emergency contact details.
Please always check the details for a walk before setting off.
Dogs are not permitted on this walk, except for registered assistance dogs. If you have any concerns about route suitability, please consult with the walk leader beforehand.
Photography: We encourage you to take photos on our walks, but we ask that you do not share photos that include people’s faces anywhere public, including Meetup
