Advice

Got any good tips? Why not enter them into the member's forum?

• Sturdy shoes

As the terrain varies greatly, it is recommended that you wear shoes suitable for walking, ideally with ankle support.

• Water

We do build up a sweat (there are plenty of opportunities to have a sip of water!) Water is especially necessary if you are feeding as you can quickly become dehydrated.

• Clothes

Layers are best. The hills are very exposed, hence it tends to be cooler and windier on the top. Waterproofs are recommended (check the weather forecast) BBC Weather Page for the area

*Hats are essential in the winter. (Ok it’s not glam but it’s warm!)

• Baby changing / feeding

There are numerous benches on dotted along our walks and we are always happy to wait for babies who need changing and / or feeding. See routes for car parks with facilities.

• Pushchairs

…“have wheels will travel”. It is not necessary to have an off road buggy in order to be able to explore the Malverns with the MUMs. The group has a wide variety of pushchairs and all manage to complete the routes. (The sturdier the pushchair the better. Some routes are on tracks rather than paths)

• Parking

Council Tax payers in the town of Malvern, and the parishes of Colwall, Guarlford, Malvern Wells, Mathon and West Malvern are entitled to an annual concessionary car parking sticker at a cost of £2.00. These are available from the Tourist Information Board in Malvern. If you reside outside of this area annual tickets cost £25 and these are available from the Malvern Hills Conservators office (opposite the theatre). Otherwise, a ticket will cost £2 per day. www.malvernhills.org.uk
