    Crossing the A417 is my least favourite part of the Cotswold Way. They're currently rebuilding that whole junction at the Air Balloon Roundabout and it should be a lot safer once they put in proper pedestrian bridges. When the Cotswold Way was first created it wasn't that busy on the A417, the traffic used to be more split between the old Ermin Street (a Roman road) and the A417 but then they built the Brockworth Bypass and it directed the traffic away from the Ermin Street onto the A417 making that road incredibly busy. I used to commute to Andoversford and went through that junction every day. The main downside to the new roadworks there is the destruction of the old pub, the Air Balloon.

    • @GeoRick
      @GeoRick День тому

      A pedestrian bridge will be wonderful for the trail. I was looking forward to the Air Balloon pub along our way. When I saw the fences I was hoping it was just being renovated. Always sad when we lose a special place. Interesting to get the background. Thanks.

    It's really confusing at the top of the Greenway, with all the branching footpaths. Not surprised you made a mistake there, very understandable. Was that the first time you lost the trail?

    • @GeoRick
      @GeoRick День тому

      We lost it a couple of times but only for a few minutes. When we got a little confused or unsure we looked at the Macs Adventure app on our phones and were soon on the right path, The Cotswold Way markers are very good so fortunately no real set backs. The app now bleeps when you go off the trail so much improved.

    • @GeoRick
      @GeoRick 6 днів тому

      Yes places with efficient train systems are great to visit. Would love to visit Japan one day. There are millions of pipe pieces in the Thames. I have just read that when the pipe stems became blocked with tar the stems where broken off so you could continue to use the pipe. That explains why there are so many small pieces on the foreshore.

    That was really good, thank you for showing our area so nicely. Lawrence has always been a hero for me, the little church at St Martins has such a calm atmosphere, I am sure Lawrence prefers to be represented here. There is a tea room in Wareham where Lawrence had a favourite window seat, there are also some lovely photos of his Brough parked in the town too. The museum is very good at pointing these out should anyone visit. On my Birthday every year I visit his grave. Thank you from Swanage ( A few miles from Wareham) Note to visitors, don’t go by the national weather forecast, more often than not we are basking in Sun on this little Purbeck peninsula :)

I found the one at the crescent- I had no such problem with muggles thankfully :) a multi cache I enjoyed was called ‘guided tour of bath city’ by moonjay. It took me maybe close to 4 hours to complete all the questions and I’m a fast walker 😂 the day I went happened to be the day of some sort of Jane Austin festival so there were many people walking around in period clothing- interesting for sure!
