Walking the Cotswold Way, Winchcombe to Seven Springs

Hail in you face isn't so bad once the sun comes out! Come with us and see what challenges hiking Day 3 on the Cotswold Way brings.

Long time viewer but first time commenter, loving this series. You’ve inspired me to do this route one day! Cant believe you are 70 Rick! You should be proud of your fitness level :D

Thanks for commenting and glad you are enjoying the series. Hope you make the walk one day it's a good one.

So interesting! Twenty-three kilometers . . . you are lean, mean walking machines. THANK YOU for sharing.

I like Lynn's vote of confidence when you ask if you all will get better with this as time goes by. LOL! That rain!!! :O What a hike!

[@GeoRick]

Yes she was rather too fast with her reply 🙂The rain and hail were a bit much but once the sun comes out it's soon forgotten 🙂

[@ComepiedrasGeocaching]

A nice but long hike. Well done!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@GeoRick]

We found it hard but fortunately there is only one more long day to come.

I got so tired just watching you trek along, up and down, through rain and hail. Hope you slept well.

[@GeoRick]

We had to walk into the town to get dinner and was just too tired to film like we usually do. Slept very well that night 🙂

Bit of a slog, did well with a nice drink to celebrate your efforts🤗

[@GeoRick]

Yes always good to have a treat to look forward to 🙂

Any advice for getting along while doing this walk? My husband and I have talked about doing something like this, but we are afraid that we’d irritate each other.

[@GeoRick]

That's a hard question to answer but I will give it a go. We agreed on a walk we were both interested in completing,. We have generally the same level of fitness and both love the outdoors so that all helped. Filming it also kept us focused on a common goal. We just didn't have time to irritate each other too much 🙂Have you walked together on smaller day walks? That should give you some idea of how a longer walk would go. Good luck and hope you give it a go.

Have you encountered Coopers hill yet I think you may be a bit late for the cheese rolling competition though

[@GeoRick]

Coopers Hill is coming up soon. Yes we missed the actual cheese rolling competition but we have been given some great footage of the race down hill 🙂

[@MrCoxy38]

@@GeoRick that's a shame was hoping to see you take part in it and come first place with a big wheel of cheese🏅🏆

[@GeoRick]

ha ha 🙂would have trouble filming the ambulance and hospital stay after 🙂
