In a departure from the normal way that we publish our programme of walks, we have decided that due to past problems with weather, personal commitments and other unforeseen circumstances, it is more prudent to announce each walk one at a time rather than a fixed annual list. So below is the first walk of 2025 that I hope you will find interesting, more walks are to follow and will be publish at least a couple of months ahead of time. All are welcome, members and non-
Here are the details of the annual Christmas social walk which will get us out for some much needed exercise after festivities of Christmas.
This year it is a circular walk around the beautiful area of Greete (near Tenbury Wells) starting at the lovely church of St James.
The route will give fine views of the Shropshire countryside and pass the historic grade 2* listed building of Stoke Court. Easy going via country lanes the walk is approximately 3.5 miles and will take about 1.5 hours. Please note that this is not a guided canal walk, it's a social rumble though the countryside of somewhere you may not have been before.
Date : Monday 29th Dec.
Time : 10:30 am
Meeting Place & Parking : By kind permission of the owners parking is at Greete Court Farm, SY8 3BZ (Whatt3words ///deduced.proclaims.zipped)
Directions : Head for the postcode SY8 3BZ and at the crossroads with the Old Rectory and Parish House, take the no through road (along side Parish House) down to St James church and on into Greete Court. Go as far as you can into the farm yard.
I look forward to seeing you on the 29th but in the meantime have a very Merry Christmas, cheers, Mike Watkins.
