Cotswold Way : Day 3 : Cleeve Hill to Seven Springs

That’s Bugsy, Mark G and myself done day 3 of the Cotswold Way, which took us 8.69 miles from Cleeve Hill to Seven Springs.

We had been hoping to do around 10 miles. But the heat was getting a bit much for both Bugsy and myself.

Here are some photos from day 3. Plus our route can be found at www.strava.com/activities/9705870342
