This year with Adventure Society, we have had a great time on our traditional walks in the Cheltenham area, including Cleeve Hill and the Devil's Chimney.

But we have also ventured further than the society has been before! In January, a group of us braved the cold and windy weather and went for a stunning 11 mile walk along the length of the Malvern Hills. Despite getting drenched at the top of Worcestershire Beacon, we enjoyed some incredible views and flew a kite at the top of the ridge. On the way down, we encountered a stall selling local apple and mango juice, which was the perfect was to quench our thirst before getting the train back to Cheltenham.

More recently, our members tackled May Hill, one of Gloucestershire's most dramatic hills, which had great views over the Severn Estuary and Forest of Dean. We enjoyed some beautiful woodland, resplendent with spring flowers and finished the walk with a drink at the pub in Newent.
