Lickey Wickey Hilly Willy's
It's been a while since I've been on an adventure. Partly due to inclement weather, but mostly to do with the wretched coronavirus. This weekend, however, I went exploring in Lickey Hills Country Park . Located in Lickey, Birmingham, for all of you who have never heard of Lickey Hills, I agree with you, it is a silly name. However, the park is actually far from silly. Due to social distancing restrictions, I was unable to be accompanied by brother dearest on this adventure (some might say this was a blessing), so I was instead joined by my fella. To protect his identity, I shall refer to him as 'Mike', which coincidentally is his name. We parked at the Rose & Crown car park (parking is free), where there was also a handy cafe offering takeaways. We were greeted by a filthy pond, which in summer I'm sure looks delightful. However, as we were visiting in the middle of winter, the park was a muddy quagmire and presumably the ducks had traipsed mud into the pond
