A 4 (ish) mile walk with a geology theme, a new trail guide with map, a short quiz and a beer named after our show site, Martley Rock, what’s not to like?

32 turned up from 10am at The Crown Martley on Sunday 21st, Fathers’ Day, some took refreshment there, then via the Nubbins and Martley Rock, following our signs placed out for the occasion, rambled up to the Admiral Rodney.  More refreshment and now, following the Worcestershire Way, that has a bit of sting in its tail by way of the ascent through Nipple Coppice, onwards and finally downwards to The Talbot.  Here their festival was in full swing and Martley Rock beer in bottle and on tap.  Even more refreshments were partaken of.

Thanks are due to Andy who staffed the Rodney, and was probably a little more intelligible in the earlier hours, and Dave at the Talbot, unable to drink too much because he and me operated a driver’s return taxi service to the Crown. Of course a big thank you to Chris the Brewer at the Talbot for developing the beer which sold extremely well, hope he kept the recipe.

This was another first for TVGS following our successful members evening in June, and the compliments received suggest it could be repeated, possibly not on the same weekend as Wichenford Open gardens or even Father’s Day.  We’ll see.  The amount spent in the 3 pubs was I think quite impressive–around £350/400–lunches, drinks, snacks so it was worth while for them in some small way we hope.  It was free at the point of entry ie. TVGS did not charge
