	We too are confused by this sign
	We need a mycologist to help us identify this huge specimen
	Denys introduces his recorder which accompanies us everywhere we go.
	We try hill-spotting
	A picture of the hill fort we have now entered
	And a more detailed description
	Roma, our guide, tells us this is Wellington
	A very visible landmark on the Wrekin
	A long conversation then centred on whether Peter from Coaley had been involved in the construction of this or not
	More hill-spotting
	Through the haze
	Ironbridge Power Station cooling towers are seen from many viewpoints
	We descend steeply from the Wrekin through this scout camp to the road
	Unusual colouring of this cow, spotted on our way to lunch in Little Wenlock churchyard
	After a quick drink in the very busy Huntsman Pub in Little Wenlock, we continue, getting closer to the cooling towers
	A riverside path leads into Ironbridge
	Past Abraham Darby's house in Coalbrookdale
	We climb up above Coalbrookdale and look down on the foundry working below
	And finally reach the famous Ironbridge.
