Unless I am mistaken, that is it for the day here, and within half a mile. Therefore we walk the 10 minutes / 0.5 mile to Prestbury (War Memorial) and await the first bus of the day, the 0618 Stagecoach West service W from which we alight at Winchcombe (War Memorial) at 0631 on Friday morning.

This is a tricky one - this stop being deep in the retail park, only services 351 and 353 are within the half-mile walking distance. The next available departure is service 351 at 1119, so therefore we must leave by 1319 to comply with the rules.

To save using the 351 back towards Tewkesbury, we take advantage of Stagecoach West service 353, where one journey in each direction service the retail park daily. We therefore board it at 1315 (just within the two-hour rule!!!) and alight at Sandhurst (Village Green) at 1345 on Thursday.


EDIT: Scored through as I was at totally the wrong stop to start!!!

I beleive this is an invalid move, as there are no other onward services whatsoever, nor a return service that doubles-back until the next day. There are also no other stops within half a mile.

Are you looking at the right stop? The stop I quote is opposite McDonalds, where it then goes around to the retirement homes to that stop deep in the village and picks up there and goes back to the other bus stop opposite (right outside McDonald's). Those two stops are a six minute walk from the Priory Ruins, where connections to the Forest are available.

Sorry both!
I was at the St Oswald's Village stop (the one deep in the village). No idea why!!!
So, I will score through my (potentially invalid - although I'm not convinced 8-) ) move and we continue from VL142's arrival at St Oswald's Retail Park at 1055 on Friday.


Continuing on...
From St Oswald's Retail Park it is (as suggested!) a 6 minute walk to the Priory Ruins stop, from where we catch Stagecoach West service 22 at 1101. We alight at Ruardean, Square at 1154 on Friday.
