Nordy Bank GeoTrail at EveryTrail


Couldn't decide whether to walk or cache this weekend....  This new trail at Nordy Bank on the Clee hills is a perfect combination of both activities, with no compromise!  Simply getting there was adventure enough, as the roads were bendy, windy, up and down, covered with ice, with tractors likely to pull out at any time.  But with glorious views!

Rewarded with fantastic views, with very little effort on my behalf.  Start high and stay high on this circuit.  There are more landscape photos at the everytrail site, linked above.

Cache trail was excellent 11 in total and all nice and easy.  Perfect opportunity to get kids out in the fresh air on a treasure hunt, whilst the adults can enjoy an easy walk with great views.  As you can see from the photos, this is a battle that I lost at home and left the boy on the Playstation and the girl on the sewing machine.  (This is meant in a totally non Andy Gray / Richard Keys type statement - she is taking A level Design.  Please do not post my blog on YouTube).

Thanks to AntiheroAdam & Antiheroabby for setting an maintaining the trail..... loved it.
