The wood’s in trouble

On Wenlock Edge, it might be, but we’re on Benthall Edge, last gasp of the aforementioned, where it reaches and overlooks the Severn. The wind’s not very strong – not going to do any damage, just providing a steady whoosh overhead. Last week’s blow may have brought some branches down – National Trust staff have got a bonfire going, and the wind is really encouraging the flames. Happily, it’s downwind of the path.
