20s-40s Waseley hills social light hike

The weather is looking phenomenal next week so it would be perfect to plan a social hike for anyone that is interested! Remember to wear sun screen as it’s gonna be quite sunny!

Rough plan as follows below:

Meet & Start

• When: 10:00 AM (arrive 9:45 AM).
• Where: North Car Park (Gannow Green Lane, Rubery, B45 9AT).
• Parking: £3 all-day (card-only).

Route

• Rabbit Trail Loop (3 miles, 2 hours).
• Terrain: Hilly, don’t think there will be muddy paths due to low chance of rainfall. But wear shoes that can be unconcerned for being dirty.

The Rabbit Trail (3 miles) has some steep sections, large kissing gates and is unsurfaced (grass) with some steps. It is not suitable for wheelchairs, mobility scooters or pushchairs.
