May
Sunday 6th May 10am
Meet at Crabbs Cross for a 09:15 departure. We WILL be calling in there on the way.
Parking: Oversley Green. There is no useful Postcode.
Roadside parking at SP 092 570 close to the bridge over the River Arrow.
The big red marker labelled Alcester Town Football club in the centre of the Google map linked to below is next to the parking area.
This is NOT at the Alcester Town Football club that is a green marker over to the right of the screen - this caused some confusion the last time we parked here.
The walk is approximately 8 miles and combines footpaths, tracks and some lanes.
There are about 10 stiles all in good condition.
The entry to Oversley wood might be a little awkward if there has been a lot of rain.
Most of the walk is easy terrain but there is an ascent up to the top of Grove Hill and then the descent from it.
Hopefully, Oversley Wood will still have an impressive display of Bluebells and other wild flowers.

They will also ensure the group follow the Countryside Code - i.e. single file through crops, use right hand side on roads, use stiles where provided, and gates to be left as they were found. They will also advise if a pub stop and/or lunch are intended.
