OK, as I mentioned in "Part 1", by September 12 we'll be half-way through our walking holiday in the Cotswolds. After overnighting at the Sherborne Arms in Northleach our next destination is Cirencester, the unofficial capital of The Costwolds. Although we're not, we're booked to stay at The Oddfellows Arms. ;-) Painswick is our next stop where we'll spend the night at Troy House. The evening of September 16, my birthday, will undoubtedly be spent in a pub (like most other evenings won't??!!) in Kings Stanley, close to our B & B of Valley Views. The next day, Cotswold Walking Holidays will again transfer us to a location about 10 miles (16 km) north of Bath, where we'll finish walking the trail. We're looking forward to exploring this magnificent old Roman city where we'll spend our last night at Parade Park.
Blair & Marj and Linda & I will go our separate ways on the 18th, although I think we (both couples) are heading west to visit friends or relatives in towns very close to the Dartmoor National Park in Devon.
And that, complete with lots of links, is an outline of our trip this fall. Of course we're hoping for excellent (read -- NOT raining) weather while we're hiking, however, this is England we're heading for so we'll have to be prepared to walk -- rain or shine. I'll have my laptop with me and most, if not all the B & B's/Inns have internet access, so each evening I'll try to update the blog with pictures and details of the day's activities. Hopefully, it will be as interesting and enjoyable to the readers as the actual journey will be for the four of us!

Hi Dennis! I've finally gotten around to reading your blog, and I quite like it! Your trip sounds very exciting...you and Linda are always planning exciting things. There is a TV show on BBC Canada that rates different B&B's in Britain...you should check it out! Of course you could - if I could remember the name of the show. It'll come to me.
