|
| Our assault on the Long Mynd begins at the HF hotel in Church Stretton | |
|
|
| Out through the grounds with the assorted works of art | |
|
|
| This one won't be flying far | |
|
|
| Another chance for a swing | |
|
|
| Our walk takes us down the side of a valley | |
|
|
| Through a stream at the bottom | |
|
|
| Then uphill | |
|
|
| Looking across to distant hills | |
|
|
| Now following a broad track | |
|
|
| Along the top of another valley | |
|
|
| Heather blooming | |
|
|
| As we stop for our morning break | |
|
|
| Sitting on | |
|
|
| Some well-positioned posts | |
|
|
| Plenty for everybody | |
|
|
| And a chance to bask in the morning sunshine | |
|
|
| Then it's on to the trig point | |
|
|
| Now on the roof of the world | |
|
|
| As we follow the path along the top of the Long Mynd | |
|
|
| To where the wild ponies have gathered | |
|
|
| With their foals | |
|
|
| Of varying colours | |
|
|
| We start to descend | |
|
|
| The path getting steeper | |
|
|
| As we head round the edge of the hill | |
|
|
| Into a secluded valley | |
|
|
| Where lunch is planned | |
|
|
| A chance to take boots off and paddle in the stream | |
|
|
| Could be a pollution problem lower downstream | |
|
|
| After lunch another sharp climb | |
|
|
| Looking back down the valley | |
|
|
| As we reach the top we look down on Church Stretton | |
|
|
| Spotting a colourful fungus | |
|
|
| Before heading downhill into town | |
