Ian Jelf Public Walks: Spring 2012

I’m announcing the Spring 2012 season of my public walking.

So, what's new?

Well, I'm re-running the "Ghosts of Old Sutton Coldfield" walk on the evening of Sunday 18 March. That's Mothering Sunday, so I reasoned that an evening was probably a better time to do a walk that day, as many of you will no doubt be "occupied" during the day!

There are two NEW walks in Birmingham City Centre, one (on Saturday 14 April 2012) looking at Crime and Punishment through the ages and the other (on Easter Monday) using pictures to show how the City has changed and changed again.

Further out, there's another new walk in King's Norton (Sunday 22 April 2012), including a lot of off-roading on lesser-known canals as well as some super old buildings.

And staying on the South side of Birmingham there's a walk in the stunning garden village of Bournville on Saturday 24 March 2012.   There really is more to Bournville than chocolate, I promise!

Oh and completing the set, on Easter Saturday, why don't you join me for a less-obvious destination and come for a walk around the North Worcestershire town of Bromsgrove.   There's a lot to see and if you want to make a day of it then the brilliant Avoncroft Museum of Buildings isn't far away and nor are the Lickey Hills.

So, in brief, the programme is:
