This was one of our shorter walks. We decided to do it on a Saturday afternoon, when we'd have a chance of using public transport. It was a good hour's drive from home to the destination of the walk, a walkers' car park in a disused quarry near the Cleeve Hill golf club. We left the car behind and walked into Cleeve Hill to the nearest "listed" bus stop (there were closer ones as we found out on the way).
Then we got on the 606 bus at 12:15, and arrived at Winchcombe around 12:30. From there we picked up the Cotswold Way where we finished three weeks earlier. Even though it was not a long walk mileage-wise it was quite challenging with lots of up and down bits. We arrived back at the Cleeve Hill golf course car park around 4:00pm and felt like we had done a proper walking day.
