This is a pleasant walk through Oversley Wood also taking in green paths, fields, lanes and part of the pretty town of Alcester.
There is one steep but short incline and a few more gentle slopes. On the recce there were some muddy patches but these were easily navigated. Some of the terrain was a little uneven with tree roots and dried mud. If it rains before or during the walk it may be slippy in places. There were a few fallen trees but these were easily bypassed. There is one stile. Walking poles are recommended.
Start time: 10.15
