TUESDAY WALKS 10.00am start.

			
Details of all walks to be finalised via email 7 days before 

		

	





	
 

	
Tuesday 16th December starting 10:00am

	
Park at the Neville Arms, The Ridgeway, Astwood Bank, B96 6NB for 10am departure. The car park barrier will be down untill 9:30am so you won't be able to park before then. Please use the furthest car park on the right.

	
 The walk (5.5 miles) takes us across field paths towards Alcester, loops back to the Ridgeway, through Cookhill Village and back to the Neville. There is a steady climb back up onto the Ridgeway. This path is likely to be pretty muddy as it is well used by dog walkers.

	
 We also have to cross a small stream with stepping stones, preceded by a water logged ditch so wellies or gaiters are recommended.

	
Lunch is booked for 1:30. We aim to arrive at the Neville at 1:00pm to give us time to get changed and buy drinks. 

	
Christmas Hats and other accessories advised.

	
Leader Davina and Katherine.

	
 

	
Tuesday Walk 23rd December, 2025.





	

		To continue my series of circular walks with the aim of encircling Redditch and with each

	

		touching at some point the route of the previous Christmas walk; we reached Norgrove in

	

		December 2024, and now my 7 th such walk aims for Tardebigge.

	

		This series started in 2018 when I linked the Village Inn, at Beoley with The Bell in

	

		Tanworth in Arden, next came the Winged Spur in Ullenhall. This was followed by

	

		Studley Castle, then the Green Dragon, Samborne, the Lygon Arms, Feckenham, and

	

		last year we passed The Brook close to Norgrove.

	

		 

	

		This year’s walk will start from the public car park at Tardebigge and again, to avoid our

	

		club occupying too many spaces, I encourage car sharing, but you need to appreciate your

	

		journey home.

	

		 

	

		Meet in the car park for a 10.00am departure.

	

		Post code :- B60 3AH What three Words :- unsettled.salad.proclaims.

	

		 

	

		The Walk initially takes us south along the Monarch’s Way to Bank’s Green, we then touch

	

		Upper Bentley, and at Norgrove Court we change direction and head back to Tardebigge,

	

		possibly eating our lunch at Upper Bentley village hall. After Patchett’s Farm we reach the

	

		Worcester & Birmingham canal and return to our cars. I will then head to the Tardebigge for

	

		seasonal refreshments, and trust others will do likewise.

	

		Finally, I have been told that some members were upset when reading the comments and

	

		reminders incorporated with my last walk details. 

	

		Total distance 7.5 miles. Grade E/M

	

		With best wishes from,
