Gardiners Quarry, Malvern Hills, Worcestershire

Gardiners Quarry

Path up from Gardiners Quarry

Turn up path for Black Hill

 Today I parked in Gardiners Quarry, (WR13 6DN), and then walked up the main path. About half way up there is a T junction, and here I turned right and walked up towards Black Hill. The cloud cover today was thin wispy stripes of clouds. The light kept changing accordingly, sunny, overcast, sunny, overcast. 

It was a busy day for walkers as there was a charity ridge walk taking place.

Walkers on Black Hill Ridge

From the ridge you can see the town laid out like a toy town, and Black Hill overlooks the Three Counties Showground. It looked as though today there was a caravan show, but in two weeks time it will be the Spring Garden Show, and Gardeners World's BBC show will be coming from there on Friday 10th May. If you watch the show you will be able to see this part of the hill behind them.

Icy walk along hill ridge, Malvern Hills

 Firstly the picture of the fence from yesterday. Must have tried to download too many pictures. The next picture is of the sun setting last night, and as you can see the trees were still frosty.

 Today is just as chilly and I walked from Gardiners Quarry up to the top of the Malvern Hills, and then walked along the ridge. This view looks out towards the west side of the hill. I particularly like how the frost clings to the rowan trees.

 The next picture is looking North along the ridge of the hill. The sky was quite overcast but for a moment it cleared allowing me to capture the treetop detail.
