Not Even an Ice Cream
Pickerwheel selects page 74 from the Hidden Places of Worcestershire Guide Book. We are off to Evesham, fitting in nicely as #1 son needing a lift to a railway station. Also noted that the Rail Trails website has been enhanced to include a number of circular walks.
No hardship to be in Evesham, even if the walk nearly repeats of the Town Trail I did when I chasing the Good Beer Guide Tick for the Trumpet Inn.
No pub refreshments planned for today, but with the mercury nudging 30, we are seriously hoping that Abbey Park has an ice cream van.
From the station, we head west to pick up the River Avon before crossing farmers' fields to the other side of the horseshoe bend in the river and down to Abbey Park.

The park is a fine place to stop for a picnic. The artworks within were discovered through an Adventure Lab Cache. But no sign of an ice cream van. Mrs M was grumbling there had to be one somewhere. The Wall's umbrellas in the garden of Raphael's cafe promise cold refreshments, but neither of us was prepared to join the 20-man queue.
A rare day when the only spends were on car parking.
