Home Walks Photos Archive 2005		The Malverns - 20 August 2005

	This 7 mile walk was subtitled "The Highest Bits"
	Ann and Heather contemplating the day ahead as we meet on Malvern Common.
	Morning coffee stop at St Ann's Well develops into a cake stop too.
	John and Hazel enjoy the sunshine.
	As we walk round the lower slopes, Mike looks back and notices the task ahead!
	We follow the maze of paths on the lower slopes and after a little confusion we start to climb what must be the steepest path from North Malvern up to North Hill,
	The great (and essential for some) thing about this path is that you can stop to admire the view every few yards!
	Picnic time on North Hill at about 1300 feet. Ahead is Worcestershire Beacon at 1390 feet the highest point on the Malverns. We have great fun identifying landmarks in the distance.
	The topograph helps us.
	Karen and Jim survey the scene. A super day out is enjoyed by all.
