11/02/26 - Rail Trail - Old Hill to Cradley Heath

Let the Ramblers Take The Strain

One of the many challenges I have running to keep me on the streets is walking between railway stations. My usual monthly review of where the Ramblers are group walking revealed they have planned the next stage on the Wyre Valley line for me. OK, so I am going in the wrong direction, but all I need to do is turn up and try and guess which route will be taken.

A big loop on the Dudley Canal Number 2 to Bumblehole for lunch. Then onwards through Saltwells Country Park.

Could I have planned it any better than an Octogenarian Austrian Rambler? Well, it seemed rather cruel to make us look at Ma Pardoe's without paying them a visit. Especially as it was honking it down with rain. Again.
