Annually they invite us to visit their air base behind Strensham motorway services on the northbound M5 just past junc 8\, where hopefully we will meet the medics and hear about the wonderful service they provide and see over the helicopter. There is of course a risk that they will be out on an emergency call\, in which case we will have to settle for an interesting presentation by one of their staff. \nAs this is a walking festival\, after the visit to the base\, we’ll drive back to Upton for a leisurely 2 mile walk around by the River Severn before departing \nYou may want to bring some liquid refreshment and snacks for the afternoon / evening. \nNo stiles and no altitude gain. \n£6.00 \nDistance: 2 miles\nDuration: 3 hours\nDifficulty: Easy\nDate: 24 May\nStart time: 5:00 pm\nWalk leader: Keith Collins\nStart location: Midlands Air Ambulance base behind Strensham services\nStrensham services on north bound M5 just junc 8\nCroome\nWR8 0BZ\nGrid reference: SO 894 407\nWhat3Words: rigs.mailings.talkative\nFurther details:\nThere is plenty of parking outside the air base but no access via public transport.
