Just me and Lucy on the walk this morning on a familiar circuit going out towards Hawling, Roel Gate and Guiting Wood. 8 mi with 800 ftascent and a really good pace. Clear and bright.
Tuesday 8th September 2027 - Malvern Hills
There wasn't a group walk today so an opportunity to do a solo walk in one of my favourite places on the Malvern Hills. There had been heavy rain overnight which only just stopped before I started to walk and this meant there was there was low cloud swirling around for most of my walk. I started from the car park below British camp and allalong the top to the Worcestershire beacon. Always a stiff walk with several short sharp uphill bits. The views came and went as the cloud swirled around. 8 miles with 1400 ft of ascent.
Tuesday 1st September 2026 - Cold Aston
Eight of us for a walk on a fine sunny morning. From Cold Aston, around Folly Farm. On to Notgrove and almost to Salperton and then to Hazleton and Turkdean. 10 miles with 900 feet of ascent. After the recent rain it's good to see the grass starting to go green again.
Tuesday 25th August 2026 - Adlestrop
From Adlestrop following the Diamond Way to Chasleton. On to Cornwell Manor and church then returning through Daylesford Farm. 6.5 miles and 500 feet ascent. Warm dry morning.

Tuesday 11th August 2026 - Dixton Hill
It had been intended to do a 7 mile walk but because of the forecast temperatures it was decided to do only 5 miles. From the small car park at the top of Bushcombe Lane, through Bushcombe Wood to pick up the Winchcombe Way and down near Gotherington Halt. Then up to Dixton Hill, through Far Stanley and up again beside the Prescott Hill climb. Finally past Wickfields Farm and back
The photos show just how burned up and brown our coutryside has become after the prolonged drought and high temperatures.
