Thinking about visiting the Malvern's tomorrow. Depsite living in Worcestershire I've not been before. Has anyone got a good route or .gpx file that will keep me away from the walker's as much as possible?

I'm usually more organised than this but it's a bit of a last minute plan.

My email is in my profile if anyone would rather discuss off the forum.

Cheers

Judging by this morning, it will be difficult to find anywhere clear of walkers on a bank holiday , even the quiet spots weren't that quiet.
Having said that, if you steer clear of the ridge and go really early ( start before 8am) you should be OK just be aware you will meet people and adjust speed accordingly.

As for routes, look at Back on track for a starting point.

Or the Malvern Hills Trust ( conservators) they have some more up to date information

As said, either aim to be finished by 9am or start after 6pm - bank holiday Monday will be grim up the hills.

Plenty of groups rides going out week day evenings that you could tag along with, hope you like climbing ๐Ÿ™‚

Thanks fellas. Yeah I know going anywhere "walky" on a BH is probably asking for trouble. It was bad enough on one of my local loops today.
