Overview

This is a circular walk from Bromsgrove train station via Tardebigge. There is some gain in height, I believe about 250 feet but we can take the slopes at a steady pace, quite a few lanes but they were quiet on the recce and some canal. As far as I can remember there are no stiles. I plan to stop for a break by the reservoir where there is a wall to sit on, it's a pleasant place to have coffee (bring flasks). Toilets should be available at the station at the start of the walk but closed at the end. We do, however, pass a couple of eateries almost at the end of the walk where walkers may wish to take refreshment and use the facilities.

Meet at Bromsgrove train station. There is a train from New Street at 9.23, calling at Kings Norton at 9.39, which is scheduled to arrive at Bromsgrove at 9.56. Parking is available at the station, bring coins for the machines as we experienced difficulties with cards on the recce.
