September 28, 2023

Our trip has finally begun!  After COVID, illnesses, and surgeries, we 7 are all on our way to England to walk the Cotswold Way!

4 of us are departing from RDU, 2 from DC and one is meeting us in England.  We will meet at Paddington Station and take the train up to Moreton-in-Marsh for our first night. 

We are Diane and Nelson, Ursula, Judy and Dan, and Laurie and Stephen and our age range is 69-82.  There are multiple joint replacements among us and various other ailments but we are game!  Off to England!

 

The Cotswold Way

The Cotswold Way is a National Trail of just over 100 miles stretching from the market town of Chipping Campden south to the UNESCO-listed city of Bath. Along the way, are some of the most picturesque countryside in the UK, dotted with honey-colored villages, historic castles, Iron-Age ruins and lush pastures.  ngland has designated the Cotswolds an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). 

We will be walking only a small part of this trail, starting in Moreton-in-Marsh and walking some what circularly to Chipping Camden.  We'll then transfer by van to Oxford for 3 days in that wonderful university town, then home to the States.
