Solo. From side of road SO 58407 53938.masmith27/10/2023
I don't like driving sown narrow lanes, so I parked at Bredenbury Church for free. 6 miles there and back walk with a complete circuit of Grendon Court, where some bad route marking caused delays. Other paths overgrown. Can't get to summit where there is a radio tower. Trig point also inaccessible with wire fence and danger warning.gbeniston02/08/2023

Parked in Pencombe for 7km loop up via Bridleway and farm and then back on very quiet road . Good views to Titterstone Clee and great views of Malverns with sunrise on route up and down . Journey more interesting than destination.D SID31/01/2019
