Lead by Mike Allen, meeting at the Church car park at St. Bartholomew's Church, Tardebigge, Bromsgrove, B60 3AH (NGR: SO 9964 6914) at 1.30 pm for a 2.00 pm start. A circular 2-3 hour walk in an area underlain by Triassic Mudstones and Sandstones (c.250-210Ma), there will be several glacial erratics from the Anglian ice advance (c.450,000 years ago). Walking mainly on level field footpaths, towpaths, tracks, a short section on a narrow road, some steeper gradients.

The walk includes part of the celebrated Tardebigge flight of 30 locks on the Worcester & Birmingham Canal (the longest in the UK) and includes several fine viewpoints (weather conditions permitting!). A separate exposure of the sandstone in a small, overgrown, roadside quarry can be included (10 minutes by car, limited parking for 3 vehicles) at the end of the walk.

Please note: there are no facilities on-site or throughout the planned route.
