Worcestershire Beacon

Distance: 14.9km (9.25 Miles)
Ascent: 1142m (3747ft)
Duration: Overnight Wildcamp

I was over here in Worcestershire for just a couple of days and thought it a good opportunity to go for a walk.

Perfect place for a wildcamp - inside an Iron Age Fort ditch.

An early view north along the Malvern Hills. Our main target today was Worcestershire Beacon - the highest of the Malvern Hills and the pointed peak in the distance.

Early morning sunshine over Herefordshire.

The ditches of the Iron Age Fort.

After a little bit of walking there is a view of Herefordshire Beacon.

It was hot work getting up here - as expected for July! Still a few miles to the top.

Worcestershire Beacon ahead. A clear target to aim for.
