It is five years since we last did this lovely walk and this time we go in the opposite direction. We leave Sapperton on the Thames and Severn Way with our first objective being Far Oakridge. From here we turn North to Edgeworth where we stop for lunch at the Manor (not literally!).  The Frome valley takes us past valley farm before ascending onto Duntisbourne Common and a short road walk to Pinbury Park and hence the Macmillan Way to Sapperton. Another varied walk and apart from a couple of short “soft” (code name for mud) sections, straightforward under foot. Please bring a packed lunch.
