A Rousing Ramble - Church Lench & Rous Lench 
A rousing ramble is the title of the walk route featured by Ian Tustin in this month’s Vale magazine. A lovely scenic 5 mile walk starting from Church Lench heading over to Rous Lench and then returning through Yeald Wood where walkers can catch the autumnal colours whilst crunching through a carpet of leaves.
Need a copy of the route? Copies of the Vale magazine are usually available free in Evesham library.
Leaders note: An ideal walk for October and November, but be cautious about offering it in winter as the paths become very muddy!
Walking Weekend at Church Stretton
Friday 18th - Monday 21st September 2026.
An excellent walking weekend was enjoyed by a party of 14 Evesham Ramblers, staying at the HF Long Mynd hotel in Church Stretton. We successfully completed a programme of four varied walks, and although the hills were a little challenging at times, we were rewarded by beautiful scenery and some wonderful views. Plus, despite the earlier forecasts, we were blessed with lovely weather. Great walking in great company.

Autumnal fungus
Thank you Trace for taking and sharing these splendid photographs of fungi spotted on your walk from Longborough on Tuesday 15th September. Two have been named as and described as meaty! The first image is Beefsteak fungus and the second is Chicken of the Woods. Does anyone know the name of the third?
Morning Walk & Picnic in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support on Sunday 16th August 2026
This popular event was held on the meadows at Bidford overlooking the river. The walk and picnic were organised by Sheila and Donna. Mocktails and savouries followed by Donna's delicious bakes under sunny skies - a perfect finish to a delightful morning walk. A whopping £176 was raised for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Evesham Medieval Market: Saturday 16th & Sunday 17th May 2026
Talking walking was the mission of local walking group members as they manned a stand at the Evesham Medieval Market over the weekend.
Members of Evesham Ramblers, Evesham Rambling Club and Walkers are Welcome joined together to promote the benefits of walking and increase awareness of the wonderful walking routes available around the county.
David B, after his time on the stand posted on Evesham Ramblers Facebook page, ‘Meanwhile down at Evesham Medieval Market we had some distinguished visitors.’
Hopefully many of the interested visitors will be joining us on walks very soon!
The next planned publicity opportunity will be another stand at the Battle of Evesham Festival weekend during August Bank Holiday weekend. If you would like to assist – Sheila would really like to hear from you.
