Wissett's wood (where I went off track a little) decent forest rides, a crossing of the River Rea and lanes back to Mamble. Only the pub - and some not to be unexplored churches with interesting treasures - saved the day and the 42nd continuous soaking. 2026 can get in the bin, weather wise. https://mappiman.blogspot.com/2026/02/120226-sun-and-slipper-mamble.html

Not the greatest of walks - and the route designer is keen on housing estates and private roads with locked high fences topped with barbed wire. Epsom is a nice place to explore. See - https://mappiman.blogspot.com/2026/02/090225-london-spiral-stage-22-hampton.html

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
