Leaders: Ian and Anna

Distance:7.5 miles

Meet: Bentley Heath Car Park at 9:30

Start:Woodcote Lane,  Broom Hill, Stourbridge, Nutnells Wood roadside at 10:15 (W3W  ///paving.kite.customers)

Description:A relatively flat walk through varying scenic landscape of woods, valley and pasture. Walking through woods to Dodford, we then follow a valley out of earshot of the nearby M5, We turn back through Pepper Wood and circle back to the start. While not strenuous walking, there are sections of narrow and uneven path requiring care, and a couple of difficult stiles, though most of the walk is gated. We also have the added excitement of steps awash with acorns.

Directions:No sensible postcode available! Take the M42 to J1, A38, turn right northbound. Take second left at traffic lights B4185 (satnav may suggest first left down Barley Mow Lane, this is speed ramped and narrow, avoid). When you get to the mini-roundabout, right, continuing on B4185, then at a second mini-roundabout, right into Widmoor Lane, housing estate. Next Left onto Church Road. Right onto the A4091, Stourbridge Road. Next roundabout, just less than a mile, turn left into Brook Road. At the end turn right (Dordale Road) passing Pepper Wood (which is on the right). After just over a mile, after a long right hand bend, take a sharp left up the hill into Woodcote lane. About 0.8mile, there are a series of gravel laybys next to gates with enough room for several cars.
