Tried to work out a place to meet so Hannah and I could go for a walk, somewhere between Stourport and Bromsgrove that wouldn't be around too many people. Hannah's brain is mush having been on Covid ward since March 2020 and living alone with no family near. My brain is also mush and have been to a lot of young poorly covid recently whilst people tell me its a lie; to my face. Chaddesley Corbet is 6 miles from each of our homes.
Angry man walked up to Hannah and I in Chaddesley Corbett accusing us of being foreigners and not villagers with no right to be in Chaddesley and the cause of all covid etc etc and threatened to take our photos and sent to police, so Hannah started stressed and anxious. Hannah is meant to be doing the Spine Race this week but it's gone Walkvirtual, I'm meant to be doing safety cover on Spine but we have both opted for virtual with Hannah doing full spine and me and James, the challenger. Hannah has been unwell with Bells Palsy since start of Jan and is currently walking with sticks, just to stay upright. Route planned to avoid too much mood and changed during to avoid further mud. Except for angry man, we saw an elderly couple and two dog walkers in the woods, but non in the fields.
Walked from Chaddesley across the fields and behind the back of the plant nursery and school, up to the mast then due to the amount of mud in the fields we joined the main road then walked up to Chaddesley wood, enjoyable mooch through the woods then across the field, under numberous masts and wires (to activate the 5G in our covid vaccine (Hannah joked) and back to Chaddesley Corbett, past the allotment that James and I had until Dec 2019.
Very wet underfoot but a nice route. Feet stayed dry until the last 1km when I stepped in a puddle, right up to my middle....not quite, but it was deep!
7.5 km 1 hr 45 mins
