Walk from - AA Walks through History
Caches - 2. And the Co-ords for a Multi
So, how to treat you wife on her Birthday? Only one thing to do, take her to see a dead Composer's Grave.
She wanted to do a walk with height but not too much effort. The Malverns sound just the ticket. Find a walk, which on execution, may well be the finest day walk in an area blessed with many superb walks.
With further proof that you cannot do anything in our one horse town without someone seeing you, we get texted by someone spotting us doing breakfast at a roadside van on the way to Malvern. I am spoiling my woman today.
Head down and we can see that the hills are covered in mist. Will we get the views today?
Having blown cash on sausage sarnies, we make our savings by parking at a side road by the Malvern Hills hotel. Head north.
Misty Start |
Composer's Grave |
Exit the churchyard, with a couple of photos and the offer from the Vicar for a look inside. We decline, having walking to do.
The walking is OK, as we head south past Tinker's Hill and have a chat with a farmer about dead sheep. The highlights of this walk are to come, as first we reach Gullet Quarry.

Head up to pick up the Worcestershire on fine walking. First cache of the day found in a tree.

Best View f the Malverns? |
British Camp Reservoir |
Just one more cache to get - one that I have had my eye on for a while as it has a Difficulty 4/ Terrain 5 rating. I disappear over the edge, down a steep hill and make a quick find. Just got to work a way back up to the top.
Back at the car and no birthday is complete without a pint and a snack. Take the opportunity to go back to the Nag's Head.
Possibly the best pub in the land.

This is the best pint of Bathams ever experienced. |
