Sunday 18th July: Wasley Circular
What a great walk this was. Especially for me as I saw things on my doorstep I didn't know existed. Well done to Ray & Keith (get well soon Bob) for not getting us lost. The walk took in the Frankley Beeches with fantastic views all the way to the Wrekin in Shropshire. We then walked down to the Black Horse at Illey. After a refreshment break, we walked back up towards Day House Farm and then onto the M5 bridge to Wasley. All in all, about seven miles with a few gates and some hills to navigate. Seeing the remains of the old train line in the woods was great for the history buffs among us along with reading memorial plaque commemorating pilots killed in a Wellington Bomber crash. We had a new walker with us who I hope enjoyed this walk as much as we all did. A memorable walk with perfect weather and fine company. The ramble through the corn fields sparked all our imaginations demonstrating we are young at heart!
Sunday 17th May: Bewdley
Sunday 17th May: Bewdley
Massive thanks to Pat and Ray for a phenomenal walk. This was a fantastic walk of around 6.5 miles starting with a lovely stroll up the River Severn to Bewdley. We crossed over the rail tracks on the Severn Valley Railway and through a peaceful caravan park then up the hill into the countryside.
We did nearly get eaten by a pack of domesticated wild cows but then met two very friendly little ponies!
We had an hour in Bewdley where we relaxed at the museum (the gardens are now fully open if anybody is planning a visit) before taking the Coffin Walk back, though we never found the lost graveyard. We did find a nice old church and a chateaux that was used for training in the war. We even saw some large chub lurking by the river bank along with red kites and soaring buzzards.
The next walk is Sunday 14th of June and will take in views from the Frankley Beeches and surrounding areas.
Sunday 26th April: Monument Lane to Lizzie's Farm.
This was a great short walk on a lovely sunny day. The walk leaders, Anita and Paul struck gold with this one. We walked through the local woods which were in full Bluebell bloom and a sight to behold. We had tea and snacks at Lizzie's Farm which sells the best pies and cakes and then it was the walk up the hill back to the cars and a post walk ice-cream at Beacon Hill car park. 4 miles of bliss! Thanks to Anita & Paul.
