Solar Farm Strife
For reasons that will become apparent, I was really looking forward to this stage of the Wyre Valley Line.
As with many things in life, it started out well but quickly ended in disaster.
Leaving Droitwich on the Monarch's Way provided perfect walking. Wide open spaces through Westwood Park.

Things plod on nicely through Worcestershire Countryside. I have seen the signs nearby protesting about the implementation of Solar Farms. I am now joining their front. One of those meaningless signs saying the footpaths are closed, then detailing random numbers as to which paths are affected and which are not. These footpath numbers are on no map that I use, including OS Maps, so meaningless information. I attempt to bulldoze my way through but its impassable with heavy machinery blocking those fields that are in progress and completely fenced off for those completed.

Email sent to the Worcestershire Rail Trail Website. Their route needs taking down and/or replanning.
I replan on the fly, with lane walking to Snead's Green resulting in poorly maintained and signposted footpaths to get back on scheduled route.
Almost ruined my lunch, nestled on a thorn bush at Manor House farm.
The walk ends at Hartebury Tap House. A previous Good Beer Guide Entry, that based on the Butty Bach, should be immediately reintroduced.
