I didn't join the group walk today so an opportunity for a bike ride and photos of some churches on route. Just over 30 miles with 1600ft ascent
Forgot to stop at Didbrook!

Tuesday 23rd January 2023 - Guiting Power - Stormy Weather
The weather was not as bad as the forecast! The previous weekend Storm Isha had passed over and on the day of our walk Storm Jocelyn was passing over. Winds were strong when we were exposed but the rain was relatively light. Starting from the Critchley Road car park near Guiting Power we first headed to Guting Power then Kineton and Temple Guiting. Finally around the edge of and through Guting Wood. Just 7 miles and 700ft ascent.
