Walton Hill CE-002     Jimmy at the summit of Walton Hill CE-002

Left Macc with Jimmy at 6.16am BST, and headed down M6 and M5. Left M5 on A456 and diverted into Halesowen for a McDonald's breakfast. Back on A456 towards Hagley, and left into the Clent Hills. Parked in the car park at the foot of the north end of Walton Hill and took the 15 minute stroll to the summit. Sadly the bench I sat on last year had gone, but the Midlands Mafia were there, and the activation was qualified before 9am BST. Weather was murky with drizzle.  Then it was onto Bredon Hill CE-003.
