17.02.08 Hanbury Church


17 February 2008.
Hanbury
Walk 3283 at walkingworld.com

Distance: 4.6 miles
Duration: 1 hour 50
Weather: Cold, Sunny, 2-5c

This walk starts at Hanbury Church (used in The Archers on Radio 4, apparently), and heads off towards Hanbury Hall, and then round to the Jinney Ring. We had lunch on a picnic bench outside the Jinney Ring. It was stunningly sunny, and felt surprisingly warm. The walk then heads back up the hill to the church.

We set off a lot early than normal (hence the cold temperature at the start). The ground was frozen in lots of places, so at least we didn't have the mud we encountered in Tardebigge to contend with.

We also made better time - it's either getting easier, or the cold encouraged us to walk faster - although it did feel a little rushed - too much emphasis on walking, not enough on looking at the wonderful Worcestershire countryside.
