September Walk: Wolverley (11 Sept)
Join us in September for a lovely 5-mile walk to Wolverley.
The walk is about 5 Miles and takes us along the Canal to Cookley where we leave the canal and walk to the river Stour, following the river for a while until we walk off into a coppice full of very interesting ancient trees including some lovely old Yew trees.
The Village of Wolverley has some lovely little ‘Hobbit’ style rock cottages and a beautiful church.
There will be about 2.5 hours of walking with some stiles and a couple of hills. We will walk through fields that house horses so its best not to bring the dog and to wear sturdy shoes.
The Lock Inn at the end of the walk is situated on a canal lock, has a good range of food and there is also a tea room on the other side of the canal that does lovely ice cream!
Remember to bring some lunch / drinks and something to sit on.
Meet for shared lifts at the usual place or contact us for details on how to go directly to the start of the walk.

The destination is Habberley Valley which is a beautiful nature reserve situated not far from Bewdley and Kidderminster.The nature reserve consists of 25 hectares of lowland and heathland with large sandstone outcrops.
The walk will be around 4 to 5 miles. There are a few ups and downs but it is a relatively easy walk with no stiles and suitable for dogs. Please wear long trousers due to nettles 😊 and also expect some mud.
Afterwards we may go to the Three Crowns and Sugar Loaf pub which is about a mile and a half up the road.

Boot Women at Birmingham Pride 2016
Join us at Birmingham Pride this year!
Boot Women will be marching in the parade.
To be a part of this, meet us on Saturday, 28 May at 11.30am in Victoria Square.
May walk: Church Stretton (8 May 2016)
On our next walk, we will be heading out towards Church Stretton in Shropshire!
Church Stretton is a most attractive town situated in the Southern Shropshire hills designated as an area of outstanding natural beauty. We will be doing a circular walk heading towards Little Caradoc which is the very smallest of the hills in the area. The walk is 6 miles. There is a fairly steep climb of around 15 to 20 minutes as we go up the hill but the rest of the walk is very easy going. Regarding the climb please don’t be put off; it is very do-able for someone of even average fitness and we will go at the pace of the slowest walker; it won’t be route march!
There are a few stiles and sheep on the hills but well behaved dogs on a lead are welcome. Expect mud and wear suitable clothing.
Afterwards we will be going to a most delightful café with home-made cakes and lots of other goodies!
Note: There are free toilets on site for the start and end of the walk.
Remember to bring some lunch / drinks and something to sit on.
