Heart of England Way Association

16 members arrived for a 4.19 mile walk from The Anchor Inn, Leek Wootton.  We were once again blessed with beautiful weather on this day despite constant rain to the days prior.  Walked through church yard onto elevated path which overlooked views of Warwickshire Golf Course and Leek Wootton and Guy's Cliffe Country Park.  This led us on to a small section of the Centenary Way/Millennium Way through wooded area and deep mud.  Had lunch at The Anchor Inn on return which offered excellent food and excellent service.

A 9.5 mile circular walk which began from The Swan in Whitacre Heath.  On this bright sunny morning, five of us followed the Centenary Way which took us through a very wet and muddy Lea Marston Country Park which in turn led to Kingsbury Water Park where we found a very convenient picnic bench for lunch.  From the water park, we followed the Heart of England Way through Kingsbury village on to and across a number of fields - very hard going due to the ankle deep mud.

A circular work beginning from The Griffin, Shustoke.  A pleasant 4.5 mile walk, weather remained dry especially for us although very muddy underfoot in parts.  Walk took in part of The Heart of England Way and Shustoke Reservoir.

Despite waking up to torrential rain, 13 of us turned up to a 4.10 mile circular walk from the Snitterfield Arms.  Rain calmed down and we had a pleasant walk led by Bill which took in a small part or the Monarch's Way and to Welcombe Hills Country Park where we stopped briefly at the Obelisk for a coffee before returning to the Snitterfield Arms for a welcome drink and pub lunch where we were joined by a few other Heart of England Way members.

A lovely 4.20 mile circular walk from the Bulls Head in Barston once again led by Bill which took us over open countryside, crossing over the River Blythe and walking along part of the Grand Union Canal.  We were once again blessed with good weather and all enjoyed the usual meal and drink at the finish.

Pleased to see 17 eager walkers turn up to this 4.32 mile circular walk from the very pretty village of Norton Lyndsey.  Once again blessed with beautiful weather, this walk took us over open fields with lovely views and only two stiles to navigate.

10 of us met at the Hopwood House car park for a 4 mile circular walk led by Ian which took us through open countryside with pleasant views including a small section of the North Worcestershire Long Distance Path and alongside Upper Bittell Reservoir.  The last stretch was along the Worcester & Birmingham canal which took us to the Hopwood House pub for lunch and refreshments.

13 of us joined today's 4.24 mile walk lead by Bill.  This was arguably one of the prettiest Wednesday walks we have done which was predominantly through wooded areas decked with wild garlic.
