Ian had the pleasure of leading a very sociable group on our inaugural 'Twixmas' break from 27th to 30th December.
The holiday began with a 'get-together' over a hot 'Winter Pimms' and an excellent dinner. The first walk took in Stanton, Shenbarrow Hill, Snowshill and Broadway. The weather was clear and bitterly cold and the pub in Snowshill opened early to sell us hot drinks. The packed lunch of turkey sandwiches and Christmas cake was just what was required. The views from the high ridge were stunning. Our Monday walk was from Broadway to Mickleton, ten miles with time to explore Chipping Campden - the jewel of the Cotswolds (time too for a pint in the Eight Bells).
On the 29th, the final night, Three Ways House provided its Cotswold Menu, which was truly excellent. The slow roast pheasant, in particular, came in for high praise.
The final morning saw a seven mile walk through lovely Ebrington, Hidcote Boyce and Hidcote Bartrim. Soup and sandwiches for lunch and everyone headed home.
Once again we have been looked after wonderfully well by Three Ways House.
