Overview

A leisurely summer's afternoon walk from Alvechurch, including Bittel Reservoir and Wast Hills. Despite it's proximity to Birmingham, this route is very rural with some lovely views. The walk will be followed by a game of rounders at Alvechurch playing fields, and the option to go for a meal at the Red Lion. You can choose to do one, two or all three activities. If coming for the rounders, we expect to start shortly after 5pm, and to get to the Red Lion for about 6.30.

If the weather is bad, we will adjourn to the pub early!

If you would like to come to the meal, please contact chris_t@wmwg.org.uk by Wednesday 26 June
