A bumper turnout today with 13 on the walk (incuding 2 guests). Following the Coln Trail from Wardens Wood to Charlton Pool then through Brockhampton, Sevenhampton, Syreford and Whittington. A very dull autumnal day and we were in the clouds on the higher ground. Lots of shades of Autumn. 7.5 miles with 600 ft ascent.
My Country Walks
Previously living on the edge of Dartmoor I shared details of my walks on Dartmoor on my previous blog My Dartmoor Walks. As I explore this new area I will share details of the routes here.

Sunday 12th October - Didbrook
Leading a walk with the Cleeve Ramblers from Didbrook. Following the railway line to Hailes the up to Farmcote, along Campden Lane to Stumps Cross and then down through Wood Stanway. 7 miles with 800ft ascent. Very dull at first but the sun came out later.

A while since I have walked from the Kilkenney nature reserve. Going south over Shill Hill and through Withington Woods to Withington. Returning past Upcote Farm and Thorndale, then through Foxcote. 10 miles with 600 feet ascent.
Thursday 2nd October 2025 Malvern Hills
We didn't have a group walk this week so there was an opportunity for a solo walk on the Malvern Hills, one of my favourite places for walking. Starting from the car park below British Camp I headed north going over all the tops to North Hill and returning on an alternative path where available. The forecast for bright sunshine but it didn't come out until I had finished. So it was a dull morning and with a cooling wind on the higher tops. Only 8 miles but more strenuous than usual with 2000 feet ascent.
Looking ahead to Black Hill.

Tuesday 23rd September 2025 - Broadway to Toddington
A different walk we caught the GWR steam train from Toddington to Broadway and then walked back. A perfect morning for walking, cool and fresh with lots of sunshine. Many shades of Autumn. Just under 11 miiles with 1100 feet ascent
