Hillwalking (Cotswold Way 2015) 7:45:00 [3] 16.0 mi (29:04 / mi) +250m 27:43 / mi
The End, Tormarton to Bath. A day that got better and better, although the early ice creams at Pennsylvania were a highlight. Met by Jan at Kelston Round Hill for the finish, and Bath looked magnificent in the sunshine. No real problems all week, thank goodness, but was weary at the end. May be a seven day schedule might have been better?

Hillwalking (Cotswold Way 2015) 9:30:00 [3] 20.0 mi (28:30 / mi) +600m 26:04 / mi
Stinchcombe to Tormarton. Including my favourite bit between Wotton under Edge and Hawkesbury. The Bottoms (not 'dingles') are like a land that time forgot, straight out of Laurie Lee. Managed to climb the Tyndale monument and enjoyed an early dinner on the ramparts of Sodbury Hillfort. Getting a bit too warm.

Event: WOC 2015 & Scottish 6 days
9 AM
Hillwalking (Cotswold Way 2015) 9:00:00 [3] 18.0 mi (30:00 / mi) +700m 26:46 / mi
Painswick to Stinchcombe. A wonderful day in every regard. Enjoyed every single step of the way, Painswick to Harefield and Coaley Peak to Dursley being particularly special. Even dear old Stroud managed to look picturesque nestled among its surrounding hills. No wonder I was sorry to leave here 17 years ago.

Hillwalking (Cotswold Way 2015) 10:00:00 [3] 22.0 mi (27:16 / mi) +585m 25:11 / mi
Cleeve Common to Painswick, including the two CW Relay legs I usually ran. Woeful lack of ice cream or coffee provision at Crickley Hill CP. A nice day to finish.

Hillwalking (Cotswold Way 2015) 9:00:00 [3] 20.0 mi (27:00 / mi) +850m 23:51 / mi
Broadway to Cleeve Common. Hadn't copied one of the climbs onto my map so had a rude shock at Wood Stanway when the post said left and not right. Got some lunch in Winchcombe and needed waterproof for the shower near Wontley Farm. Some changes to the old route, for worse and better.

Hillwalking (Cotswold Way 2015) 5:00:00 [3] 13.0 mi (23:05 / mi) +350m 21:18 / mi
Had to walk from Moreton in Marsh train station as there was no taxi. Never mind, nice trip down memory lane. Loved walking into the evening. Amazing skies from Broadway Tower.
