A lockdown drive to the furthest reaches of Worcestershire. Mrs M is nervous. She needs to stop following Wyre Forest Police Tweets for further evidence of road blocks. Frankly, Wyre Forest Police need to stop tweeting. Its doing nothing for anyone's health and temper when you feel a criminal for a 25 minute drive to a wonderful walking location.
A spacious car park awaits on Monument Lane. The eponymous Monument never fails to make me laugh. My first serious walk was from here, and the guide book photo of the castle looking Arthurian in its magnificence was the main reason for choosing it. In reality, we've seen bigger forts in posh kids' back gardens.

You cannot take away the views. Birmingham, in all it city (remember them?) glory below. Last night's King Rocker Documentary on the Nightingales has me yearning for a pilgrimage to the site Barabarella's. I want to know what Thornbridge's new venture at the Colmore Tap is like. The bottle menu at the Post Office Vaults is sorely missed.
All pleasures that remain for another day.
Today's pleasures are not inconsiderate. Some lovely walking through the woods on the North Worcestershire Path, dogs for Guide Dog in Training Abi to frolic with and coffee and sausage sandwiches at the visitors centre, perfectly placed half way along.

Even the conditions were exciting. Mud frozen solid and frozen streams of ice along the paths. Here's what happens when you try to take a low down arty shot whilst walking with a Golden.
