Geocaches - 0
Walk Inspiration
Proper winter's morning, cars need scraping and I head off for Stage 8 of the Millennium Way, optimistic that the frozen ground will mean that I don't end up to my armpits in mud.
Both Stage 8 and Stage 9 start in Inkberrow. Home of Radio 4's the Archers. Home of two very decent looking pubs, with the Old Bull, the most spectacular.
I have checked out Stage 8 and can tell nothing is going to happen. I have no company (Sonia's working), there are no caches and as I didn't bother with my CacheBag (tm), I have no money to buy a pint. Full Inkberrow investigation and write up on Stage 9.
But I do have an enthusiastic Labradoodle. She goes through her stretches as I get ready. Whilst I'm outside defrosting the car, she is actually crying.
I am not convinced the boy took her out yesterday.
So park up at the church and take a few snaps of where I will be next time.

Eventually get out in the countryside. Nice views of Malvern and Bredon Hills but not much to report. Some sheep. The paths are straightforward, the stiles are a challenge. The ground is suitably frozen that we are not getting too filthy.
Walk through Little Inkberrow. Its that small, I don't notice. Follow a stream down to Dormston, where I pick up a lane that brings me to the familiar green signs of the Millennium Way.

Where I will bring company, have a pint and find this multicache.
