		We set off from Church Stretton
		Anne can't resist a challenge
		We head along
		The side of the valley
		The Long Mynd waiting for us
		We head down towards a stream
		The other group have already crossed it and are heading up another Batch
		Whilst we turn sharp right and through a camp site
		Out the other side
		And start to ascend Ashes Hollow
		On a narrow path
		Quite steeply
		We need a coffee break!
		Continuing on up
		Nearly there now
		This is where we have come from
		Heading towards the summit at Pole Bank
		Where the topograph comes in very handy
		That's the Stiperstones a few miles away
		The topograph is also handy for getting people to pose for a group shot
		And a chat
		A lovely place to be
		On the most northern grouse moor in England, apparently
		After lunch it's time to descend
		Down Cardingmill Valley
		Smile please
		A lovely day
		Quite a well worn path
		Much visited by tourists
		Through some buildings
		We spot a cafe
Chance for a quick rest
And a drink on their roof top
Then it's up another slope
Which leads back to the town and our coach
