Walk Inspiration - Country Walking Magazine Dec 2016, Walk 7
Geocaches - 1
Sometimes, walk inspiration just falls into your lap. I awake to an unseasonably warm December morning, and make the most of the Xmas break by catching up on the backlog of Country Walking Magazines. The last but one issue has a local walk. It passes a CAMRA Good Pub Guide Bathams pub and reminds me that I had a 2016 plan to create walks from all the Bathams pubs - a plan that hasn't been added to since May.
There is no excuse not to get up and out there.
This walk is so good, the truly thirsty rambler could actually stop at 5 pubs, including another Bathams. A fair amount crammed into a 7 mile country ramble.
I start at the Plough at Shenstone - a pub in the middle of nowhere but the quality of the beer (and prices) always ensures that they have plenty of punters. Bathams have been recently tweeting around their near legendary festive XXX beer. But will they have any left on Boxing Day?

The three pumps - Mild, Best and XXX are all facing the paying public. I ask for the XXX.
It sold out before Xmas. A £2.60, the Best is a fine consolation.
There's always Next Year |
