What kinds of walks do GOC West Midlands do?

A very wide variety, from 'discovery' walks in which we learn something about Birmingham's canals, for example, or its Jewellery Quarter, to scenic walks in the Malvern Hills, the Cotswolds, the Wyre Forest and many other places. Distances covered range from 5 or 6 miles - well within the capability of any reasonably active person - up to 12, and occasionally 15 miles. You can always check out the distance in advance by consulting our programme, so you shouldn't get caught out with an unexpectedly long walk. What's more, being in the Midlands there are no very high hills and few really steep hills to climb, and as we always walk on public footpaths the worst you'll have to contend with underfoot is mud. So whilst the longer walks do call for a degree of stamina, they don't normally present any other difficulties.

In the countryside ALWAYS KEEP TO THE FOOTPATH
