We are both in our mid 60s; during lockdowns over the last 12 months we decided to get out into the countryside around Bristol and do some walking. Most of the walks were 8 – 12 miles, circular walks that in several cases included sections of the Cotswold Way. And there began the basis for the inspiration to walk the trail.
Caroline had a yoga trip to Greece in late July cancelled which followed Roger’s scuba diving trip to Indonesia in May which was also cancelled. So what are we going to do for a holiday, walk the Cotswold Way of course! It was pretty much a last minute decision!
We arrived in Chipping Camden by train from Bristol to Moreton-in-Marsh and bus; having used a company to book our accommodation. This company would also transport our overnight bags; all we had to do was walk! Which we did through a spell of very hot weather, arriving in Bath nine days later and catching the train back home to Bristol.
It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience, we met some lovely people both at B&Bs and on the route
