Distance - 7 Miles
Geocache - 3
Walk Inspiration - Country Walking Magazine April 2019, Walk 9
The great thaw begins.... weirdly, this walk starts in the snow but with every passing hour, well into the night, the temperature increases by a degree. By 4am, its a balmy 13, a 20 degree swing.
This is a simple (and local) walk that provides decent views of Abberley Hill, an ancient church and the chance for a 53 year old to climb a tree. I really need to have a word with myself. Just because a cache is there, it doesn't mean I have to find it.

Astley Church proclaims itself to be "open at all times". It's a Sunday morning, so I half expect to be greeted by confused faces, as I interrupt a service. Once again, I should do my research before heading out. I find the C16th Blount effigies but miss out on the external grotesque heads mounted on the South Wall.
A new year's resolution in the making..... do your research before heading out.

No pub today.
I am saving myself for the finest World Cup final in my living memory.
