Malvern Hills Walk

I walk the length of the Malvern Hills on a crisp, bright winter's day.
Starting at Eastnor Park, I head north ending at North Hill near Great Malvern. Along the way I see Eastnor Castle, Eastnor Obelisk, British Camp, the Worcestershire Beacon. I also collect some Malvern Spring water.

Very good. Enjoyed that. Fresh water. Nice.

Visited Malvern hills hundreds of times, never get bored of it. I also recommend Long Mynd up Shropshire hills if you've never been. Enjoying your vids 🙂

Thanks ! I'll do a Shropshire Hills hike pretty soon, it's a lovely part of the country.

I love your no nonsense approach to walking and when you stayed in the tiny Welsh bothy very enjoyable. I do hope you have a large increase of subscribers to your channel.

Thanks Linda. After a slow start, my subscriber numbers are starting to rise. Can't wait to hit the 1,000 mark !

...ahum...by starting a quarter of the way along you missed Chase End hill and very importantly Whiteleaved Oak ( look it up ) and Raggedstone Hill, and the massive hill fort at Midsummer Hill, and the stone shelter on the top.... and the first of the Hills cafe's at Ruffz ( weekends only) at Gullet Quarry. Always good to gaze upon Castlemorton Common, where the biggest Rave ever happened in 1992, it was covered.

I was worried I'd miss something important by skipping that southern end of the walk. Maybe I should do version 2 where I do the complete ridge including what you mentioned and also the small hills at the north end.

Hello mate. I was here last week. I did a circular walk, 12 from the car park and back. I'm out again Friday doing the Welsh 3 peaks. You must be due out again, all it's already in bank. Where are you going next?

[@GazingMonkey]

I'm not sure where I'm going next. I'm back in full-time work it's harder to find the time to make videos and the weather's unpredictable which doesn't help. I want to climb Cadair Idris again soon, I was there a few years ago and I think it'd make a nice video. It's my favourite of the 3 peaks but then I've never I've never had a view from the top of Snowdon, I've always been clouded in. I plan to stay in the Moel Prysgau bothy and make a video of that but it's best to do that on a weeknight so I 'd have to take a couple of days off work, it's a long way from anywhere so I'd need a free day each side I reckon. I recently shot a video walking around Cardiff bay but realised halfway round that it wouldn't be worth watching, I think I'll need to research more things to look at and talk about and try shooting it again some time. Are you doing the 3 peaks competitively or just casual hiking ?

[@JamieHarding5]

@@GazingMonkey I understand, mid week is best. Should be quiet then. It looks a good bothy too. I know I'll prefer Cadair Idris. Done Pen y Fan and Snowdon many times. They are just too busy. I'm doing it just for fun, for myself. I hit over 30k steps many times. Did Ben Nevis in Oct, at the end of the day I was on 39k. I would like to reach 40+ steps, I make a 10-15 minute video of it. I probably do a separate one of the camp or bothy stay there. It's a tiny one like Grwyne Fawr. I went back there and stayed the night😁 Some of the places I've been you could do a better video, you explain things well. The crash site from the 1940s and the photo found 2005, Canadian family flew over. I'd like to see you do something on Aberystwyth one day, the University there King Charles and William went there, lots history, the old tram goes up the hill, very near there you Devils Brigde and another 5-10 drive from there Nant Syddion. If you haven't had chance to look at it, have a look one day, the cemetery is very near. If you are looking at places to go and ideas the Wye explorer is a very good channel. Jump on other channels too say hello, nice video. People will look at your channel then also. Keep having fun. I hope you get chance to go out again soon. I'm hoping to make enough videos over the weekend to last me a couple of months. I put one up every 2 weeks now. Shorts have been handy for me picking up a few subs.
