Geo Fest Walk Day 10th August

The second of two geology walk days as part of the three month long GeoFest, organised by The Herefordshire and Worcestershire Earth Heritage Trust.  As for the one held 8th June, the shorter of our two new trails commenced at 11am and trekked around 3 miles and eight geological features spanning 450 million years, all within a few hundred metres of Martley Memorial Hall.  Some stalwarts met again at 2pm (bit of a rush for the leaders–grabbing a saani and choccies from the shop in the short break) to be joined by a fresh cohort, to enjoy the much more strenuous 6 mile trip passing each one of our four new Interpretation Boards.  Lovely weather, good company–18 for both walks, 36 total, a successful presentation of Martley’s treasures to visitors from as far as Norfolk!

Not great photos but anyway:
