Geocaches - 4
Previous Walks - Walk 1, Walk 2
Pubs - The Malvern Pub Crawl
Mrs Mappiman going to work on the train provided a perfect opportunity to tackle Stage 3 of my epic walk from the Wye at Hereford to the Thames at Oxford. She heads North, to the England's 2nd City, I head South to Colwall.
I'm excited about today. Stage 3 may be the shortest walk in the book but I know I will have a decent scale of Worcestershire's highest peak. As I am on public transport, with a couple of hours to spare, I can also complete a Malvern Pub Crawl - worthy of a second blog.
Alighting the train at Colwall, I cross the footbridge to get to the countryside. Worcestershire Beacon is in view. I know what I have to do.
High Point Ahead |
It doesn't matter how many times I walk Malvern, I never seem to complete the same paths twice. The Victorians certainly made it eternal walking country. Today, I dissect the hills at Wyche Cutting and head arrow straight northwards on Shire Ditch to join the hoards at Worcestershire Beacon.
As expected, fine views on a lovely summer's day.
Views West into Wales |
Views South, over British Camp |
Views East - over the Next Leg of the Wye to Thames Path |
Quick photo of the Trig and down, down to St Anne's Well - where the water bottle can be topped up, gratis.
Third walk out of 12 and I've enjoyed them all immensely. Next leg takes me from Malvern to Worcester - 10 miles, but all flat.
Highest Man in Worcestershire |
Refuelling Pit Stop at St Anne's Well. Borrowed Dog. |
Now, onto the Pubs of Malvern.
