Explorer, Almeley & Eardisley

After another week of house reorganisation, I was getting a little stir crazy and had to get out. My last walk explored to the south of the A4112. So this time I would explore the other side. The aim was to visit the next door villages of Almeley (to the North) and Eardisley to the West. Picking a route that would avoid the major roads in the area.

Explorer, Kinnersley

Time to escape from the endless house move "stuff" arranging, finding places for all our bits and pieces. I looked at the local walks book and derived a route around several of them from our front door.

Local Loop, Kinnersley

We have just moved house to Herefordshire and this has impacted my walking with many other jobs having priority, however we did manage to get out on a local walk today.
We were guided by a book the previous owner left in the house showing local walks, but more importantly the paths around, as well as instructions that were invaluable as we went around!

BOC Walk, Knepp estate & Coolham airfield

I had offered to lead another BOC Retirees walk. For this one I had selected to go around the Knepp rewilding estate, with an extension around the Coolham airfields - so that the milage count was increased!

Druid's Altar & 5 Rise Locks, Bingley

The day of our habitation check we travelled across the moors to Bingley. Danny (the guy doing the check had moved into an industrial estate near the railway station. We did not know how long the check would take, but I planned a walk that could be cut short, or extended as required.
I planned to cross the river and climb up to a local landmark - the Druid's Altar, then loop back around to the river. From here if time allowed we could follow the canal up past 3 lock rise and 5 lock rise, before cutting back to the industrial park.
