The British Pilgrim society suggested finding a holy well for St Brides Day/Imbolc. I knew just the place - St Kenelm's Well, Clent. A linear walk between stops on the 192 bus. Finishes at a Bathams Pub. See - https://mappiman.blogspot.com/2026/02/020226-st-brides-day-halesowen-to-hagley.html

A walk between two stations on the same line. Flat, agricultural fields on the Gloucestershire Way before a climb of Nottingham Hill/Cleeve Cloud - the highest part of the Cotswolds. See - https://mappiman.blogspot.com/2026/01/290126-rail-trail-ashchurch-to.html

A route from a 74 year old guide book. All was going fine until after the village of Longdon, where the only footpath south was blocked by huge gates, no signage and warnings about CCTV. Has been reported. A bus about a mile down a busy road took me back to Lichfield. https://mappiman.blogspot.com/2026/01/200125-beerbohm-lichfield.html

A Walk from Liverpools Hidden AZ City Walks. Wandering around the religious buildings in the city - many of them can be entered. The oldest, St Peters, is now a Good Beer Guide Pub. In case you were worried that I have found the Lord.
