Overview

The walk will start at Astwood Bank and walk towards the sunrise before crossing the Ridgeway to enjoy views of the Malverns on the way back to Astwood Bank. We will be stopping at The Bank Cafe, Queens Street, Astwood Bank for breakfast.  We will then go to Sambourne, Coughton (using a path recently cleared by the Redditch Ramblers working party) and then Alcester where it is planned to have our packed lunch. The return will take us via Nevill Arms where if we are making good time there may be an opportunity for a hot drink or beer.  Sunset is anticipated at 4pm as we walk back to Astwood Bank.  Let’s hope for a clear day!

Booking required by 5pm Thursday 7th December to reserve places for breakfast, please Whatsapp Paul Field on 07592305190 and he will send you the latest menu.
