We have driven up the hill to Dudley Golf Club. Non members are welcome but we don't park in the carpark which would be cheeky.
We walk up a scruffy bit of tarmac lane, past a police sign telling us that we're in an "antisocial behaviour hotspot", and up to a metal gate which is as close as we can get.

| Friendly horse "guarding" the transmission tower. |

Gate open - however operatives are just
inside - and "no we can't have a quick peek"
due to "sensitive equipment"!

As close as we can get.
Brutalist Brummie architecture!

| Turner's Hill |
On the way back down there's another footpath into a field where we do get a slightly better view of the transmitter and say hello to a gently friendly horse. Unfortunately, even though it is clearly an elevated spot above the city of Birmingham (where our namesakes "The Peaky Blinders" originate), there is no view of the city skyline to be had due to the scrub and bushes.
