Walk Inspiration - Julie Royle's Worcestershire Walks
The first "big" walk I completed in the first lockdown was Crowle, Himbleton and Huddington. This was on a gorgeous May Day, where the bunting was out in celebration of VE Day.
Now, I am not entirely sure what lockdown we are in, but the first "big walk" since the pubs shut this time around is in a similar area, East of Worcester. No glorious spring weather either, it was as bleak as rambling gets The camera spent most of the route hidden away from the sleet, whilst I concentrated on not getting trench foot.
The route starts at a lay-by on the A422, heads up through Crowle on lanes to Netherwood Cottages. Terra Firma left behind on a slosh to Sale Green and Huddington before the real grief starts in the poorly signposted flooded farmland and through Bow Wood.

The final part of the walk was meant to be be through Court Farm, but I could take no more mud. There is a footpath along the A422, which provided safety from everything apart from the log flume splashes of cars speeding through the puddles.
With no pub to report, I will turn the blog into a gear review.
Goretex GTX doesn't really work.
