Sunday 5th February 2012 Derbyshire (Moderate 9 Miles)This lovely undulating walk takes us over farmland, through Dimminsdale nature reserve where hopefully we'll see plenty of snowdrops, through the Calke Abbey Estate and alongside Staunton Harold Reservoir. Teashop at finish.
Sunday 12th February 2012 Bewdley (Moderate 11 Miles)A walk of varying landscapes which starts in a forgotten area around Bewdley, taking us firstly through the woods of Ribbesford, then along the River Severn before going through Arley Woods. From there we make our way up to the open landscape area of Heightington with its rolling hills before coming back into Bewdley along the Ribbesford trail.
Friday 17th February 2012 Clent Hills Night Walk (Moderate 5 Miles)A night time walk to see the Clent Hills as you may never have seen them before. Bring a torch (ideally a head torch) and we will head up into the hills to walk by torchlight. Views of the surrounding areas will be illuminated by street lights, the roads will snake through the views and Birmingham will light up the night sky. After the walk join me for a drink in a local pub.
Sunday 19th February 2012 Earlswood Lakes (Easy 10 Miles)Towering snow-capped peaks and stomach-churning precipitous drops are just two of the things you will not experience on this walk! What you will see are 'trains and boats and planes' as you wend your way through the back lanes, leafy woodlands and rolling countryside surrounding the Earlswood Lakes.
Sunday 26th February 2012 The Ercall and the Wrekin (Moderate 10 Miles)An exploration of the unusual geological features of the Ercall and the less well known paths of the Wrekin. We have plenty of steady climbing and one short steep climb ascending to 450m. In good weather the views are extensive. Our descent is picturesque but requires concentration. Post walk refreshments in nearby Ironbridge.
Sunday 4th March 2012 Martley (Easy 10 Miles)Sunday 11th March 2012 Lapworth (Easy 10 Miles)
Sunday 18th March 2012 National Memorial Arboretum (Easy 8 Miles)
Sunday 25th March 2012 Knighton Area (Moderate 12 Miles)
