Geocaches - 7
Walk Inspiration - Waterside Walks in Worcestershire
Pub - Ye Olde Anchor, Timothy Taylor
Sometimes, maximum walking pleasure can be obtained from the simplest of walks.
This isn't miles away from home, time consuming or in any way strenuous but has provided a lovely walk, with a few caches, multiple refreshment opportunities and the chance to snigger like 13 year olds.
First lane taken |
We are in Upton Upon Severn. Nestled seemingly equidistant between the Malvern and Bredon Hills.
Park up in the free car park opposite the Church at the end of the high street. First two caches of the day are found before the GPS has found its satellites.
Down the unfortunately named lane and out into the Countryside, aiming for the River Severn. The wildlife pay us no attention.
Never mind the Bullocks |

Malvern Hills Behind |
The River Severn provides our hand rail back into town, traversing the floodplains of Lower and Upper Ham. The caches show evidence of last winter's floods but are all OK to sign.

Into the village and a choice of refreshment opportunities. I cannot think of a place where so many pubs are so densely packed. Swan Hotel, next to the Kings Head, next to the Plough, next to Ye Olde Anchor.
With a couple of fortunate tearooms inbetween - which is handy as the walk was so short today, the sun was not yet over the yard arm.
Tea drunk, we head to the "Pepperpot Tower" for the last (and best) cache of the day.

Sonia has abandoned me and is awaiting further refreshment in the 1601 established Ye Olde Anchor Inn.
