Hope Bowdler: Gaer and Battle

On 13 Aug 2021 By geoffspagesIn Photography, Shropshire hills, Walks

To the hills today! Hope Bowdler, home of the Gaer Stone (think Matterhorn in miniature!) and the Battle Stones (perfect place for a choc stop). A stiff breeze is blowing the clouds and their shade across the landscape; between them are spotlights of sunshine.

A gentle ascent (at first!)

Perfectly pastoral

A few spots of rain?

We can shelter under this!
