Geocaches - 5
Previous Walks - Walk 1, Walk 2, Walk 3
Pub - The Firefly, Worcester, Harbour New Zealand Gold
Hopeless weather today, but when you have made your mind up to do something, you have to see it through.
After a couple of months absence, I am back on the epic walk from Hereford to Oxford. Today's fourth leg takes me from Malvern to Worcester.
Seems odd to be at Malvern and heading away from the hills. I navigate through quiet lanes and housing estates that are not on my aging OS map to get into the open countryside.

Into Madresfield. Map show PO but no PUB |

Powick Old Bridge and the Old Mill |
Picking up the Teme |
From now on, its all about rivers. First the Teme is followed. A couple of caches are grabbed. This ultimately leads to the Severn and a nice 1.5 miles up stream to Worcester City. Always feel triumphant finishing a walk in a big city. I feel they should put the bunting out to hail my arrival.

I find it easily enough and learn something else about my County City. Its opposite the only strip bar in a 25 mile radius. It has a very strange sign outside saying the dress code is smart/casual - with a plea to "please make an effort". How twee is Worcester?
Good sign - looks suspiciously like a pile of hipster chunder |
Handsome |
A worthy reward for an 11 mile trudge through the rain.
