The Last of the Sub £4 Pints at my Local
Like Rachel Reeves, my Landlady has been leaking information. The Butty Bach has been £3.80 for quite some time. A rise is coming. The amount of damage yet to be revealed.
Before I get this reward, I have a wonderful walk that runs from my front door. How I miss the frisson of excitement provided by Public Transport.
Heading west out of town, I find paths and walking infrastructure that in the main, are perfectly maintained. Yet it is so isolated, that I felt like the only person to have walked them. Ascents and descents of the rolling hills, with some lovely views.

It's at the wonderfully named "Joan's Hole" where I pick up the Worcestershire Way. A path cutting through the newly sprouting garlic, on top of Dicks Brook. It's here that inspiration for another series of walks takes hold.

I'm going to break the 31 miles of the Worcestershire Way down into a series of circular walks. Usual rules apply. Each walk will aim to be in the sweet spot of around 8 miles. Interesting locations (pubs) will be visited. The bus will be used, where possible.
| The Worcestershire Way | The Worcestershire Way is a long-distance footpath in Worcestershire, England. It stretches for approximately 31 miles (50 km), running from Bewdley in the north to Great Malvern in the south. The path traverses a variety of landscapes, including riverside paths, woodlands, farmland, and the Malvern Hills. It passes through or near several villages and towns, providing opportunities for rest and refreshment. |

A hastily planned first walk will take in Nothing Bound Brewery from Bewdley. Isn't it lovely when a plan comes to fruition.
The remainder of the walk continues in a state of quiet enthusiasm, buoyed by the inquisitive and sleepy new-borns around Worsley Farm.

Despite the length, this is a walk that I didn't particularly want to end. Warm spring sunshine will do that. But the water runs out, and re-hydration is important.
Whilst I can afford it.
