Our take on interesting developments
-
Not much being added to this list at present - so see tweets above.

There's a new computer at MalvernTrail basecamp, so I've finally looked at the (now not so) new website called From the Malverns which has photos of the area with 'then and now' images. It requires Microsoft's Silverlight add-on (urgh), is slow to load and then doesn't give you time to read the info, so only for those with a keen interest.

More interesting connections with community-owned village shops: Eardisland (see Black and White Village Trail) is getting support to open its community shop in the ground floor of the fascinating restored dovecote building - picture of that on our Dovecotes page.

MalvernTrail put together a bike ride complete with recommended lunch pub and cycle hire for a bakers-dozen sized family group, celebrating an 80th birthday. An enjoyable event by all accounts, despite a strong wind, and the route is captured on GPS. We're looking to develop more possibilities, so if you want to have a good time on a bike in the Malvern area, do get in touch! (Info on About us page)
