Overview

This is one of our ad hoc Thursday evening social walks this year. These are short evening circular walks starting from pubs where we will normally have a drink and / or a meal at the end of the walk.

Meet at 18.15pm for a 18:30pm start in the free Stamages Lane Car Park in Painswick GL6 6UZ. The walk climbs 300 feet up into the Cotswolds before returning to the car park. We will then walk to the Oak pub, St Mary's St, Painswick, Stroud GL6 6QG for drinks and / or food.

After the rain we’ve had in recent days, the route may be muddy in places so walking boots are recommended.
