Now some of the promised pictures from the walk up Leckhampton Hill. The delay was due to a lot of bother organizing accommodation for the week after next when I'll join my sister for a holiday before she goes into hospital.
About a third of the way up, or perhaps a quarter. Looking back at Cheltenham. First with my mobile then with a longer lens on my Sony compact ultrazoom
There are a few grand houses on the way
Then the road ends and we're in the woods
After three or four minutes walk I came to a clearing where lots of paths came together and just a few metres away from the path that my map said i should follow I saw an information board
After a bit of a slog up the steep path I came to a point here I could see the town between the trees
A few minutes later I was in the clear space above the Devil's Chimney where I took a panorama
And another telephoto
Looking the other way I saw that I had some way to go before getting to the top of the hill
The path takes a relatively easy route
More later.
