Bromesberrow Bimble is a loop of 23 caches set in the Bromesberrow Estate to the south of the Malvern Hills. The walk crosses the southern end of the hills and then passes through bluebell woods before climbing steeply to the open access land of Howlers Heath and descending to the road and returning across the delightful parkland of the main estate. The route is approximately six miles of undulating terrain and includes one short, but very steep, ascent between No7 and No8. There is a high stile between No13 and No14 which could be problematic for a large dog (there is a hole about a foot high for small geohounds. Most of the trail is on good paths but a few sections seem to be wet all year and very wet in winter, when Wellies or boots are essential on Howlers Heath. Parking is available adjacent to No1, and there is limited parking near No3. Navigation is not always straightforward, so you are encouraged to use the route instructions on each cache page. A couple of key waypoints are included. Tweezers will be necessary for several of the caches.
All caches in this series have been placed with the kind permission of the landowner. Please be respectful of the property, keep to the public footpaths and keep dogs under control where animals are grazing.
Continue down the path from the last cache. Most pigeon fanciers will need a tool to reach the cache. One used to beprovided behind an adjacent tree next to a rabbit hole - sadly it has been taken. Until we can source a replacement, cachers will have ot use their ingenuity and maybe their tree climbing skills - I have upgraded the terrain rating accordingly.
