Promoting publicity for our group
Well done Sheila for stepping up at short notice and grasping the opportunity to promote the benefits of walking in the wonderful countryside in and around the vale. The event was held by Green Fair in Evesham town hall.
The display included the new group banner and lots of leaflets providing walk routes to enthuse visitors at the stand.
If you know of places where our group leaflets can be placed to encourage new members, do let Sheila know.

A stompingly excellent walk!
It’s always good to get recommendations about good walk routes from our members, and especially those routes that are not far from home. Tracey very kindly shared her photographs on the WhatsApp group and gave a heads up that this seven mile walk is dog friendly.
The images show Cropthorne church, the main street and the delightful little stream that passes through the village.
The Evesham Vale Circular Walks leaflet 5 describes the full walk, it is available on the Evesham Welcomes Walkers website

Well, would
you know that Gulls eggs make a 'handsome' sponge cake?
Finding the history of Evesham Ramblers group or the Vale of Evesham Ramblers as it was formerly known is particularly difficult. The date of the groups creation remains a mystery, however this beautifully composed article in the 1994 summer edition of the County in Rambler describing a group holiday to Newquay indicates that the group was active before this date.

A Rousing Ramble - Church Lench & Rous Lench 
A rousing ramble is the title of the walk route featured by Ian Tustin in this month’s Vale magazine. A lovely scenic 5 mile walk starting from Church Lench heading over to Rous Lench and then returning through Yeald Wood where walkers can catch the autumnal colours whilst crunching through a carpet of leaves.
Need a copy of the route? Copies of the Vale magazine are usually available free in Evesham library.
Leaders note: An ideal walk for October and November, but be cautious about offering it in winter as the paths become very muddy!
Walking Weekend at Church Stretton
Friday 18th - Monday 21st September 2026.
An excellent walking weekend was enjoyed by a party of 14 Evesham Ramblers, staying at the HF Long Mynd hotel in Church Stretton. We successfully completed a programme of four varied walks, and although the hills were a little challenging at times, we were rewarded by beautiful scenery and some wonderful views. Plus, despite the earlier forecasts, we were blessed with lovely weather. Great walking in great company.
Images from members of the party.
Autumnal fungus
Thank you Trace for taking and sharing these splendid photographs of fungi spotted on your walk from Longborough on Tuesday 15th September. Two have been named as and described as meaty! The first image is Beefsteak fungus and the second is Chicken of the Woods. Does anyone know the name of the third?
Morning Walk & Picnic in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support on Sunday 16th August 2026
This popular event was held on the meadows at Bidford overlooking the river. The walk and picnic were organised by Sheila and Donna. Mocktails and savouries followed by Donna's delicious bakes under sunny skies - a perfect finish to a delightful morning walk. A whopping £176 was raised for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Evesham Medieval Market: Saturday 16th & Sunday 17th May 2026
Talking walking was the mission of local walking group members as they manned a stand at the Evesham Medieval Market over the weekend.
Members of Evesham Ramblers, Evesham Rambling Club and Walkers are Welcome joined together to promote the benefits of walking and increase awareness of the wonderful walking routes available around the county.
David B, after his time on the stand posted on Evesham Ramblers Facebook page, ‘Meanwhile down at Evesham Medieval Market we had some distinguished visitors.’
Hopefully many of the interested visitors will be joining us on walks very soon!
The next planned publicity opportunity will be another stand at the Battle of Evesham Festival weekend during August Bank Holiday weekend. If you would like to assist – Sheila would really like to hear from you.
