Today I took part in the 'Five Valleys Walk 2023', an annual fundraising event organised by the Stroud based Meningitis Now charity. The route is just under 34 km long and forms an undulating loop around Stroud taking in the Golden-, Toadsmoor-, Slad-, Painswick- and Nailsworth Valleys.
Beautiful countryside, even when it is drizzling, with stunning views, highland cattle on the common, hollow roads, endless woodlands, a glimpse of the famous Gifford Circus at their base farm and the grapes of the local Woodchester Vineyard orchards. It's a good old hike at just over 6.5 hrs. but I'm definitely up for a repeat...
