Yesterday’s rain has cleared the air, and it’s much colder – we’ll need to keep moving. It’s a route we first followed just over a year ago – from Wall-under-Heywood to Rushbury, then up Gilberries Lane to Cardington, returning past Stoneacton. It’s a fairly steady ascent to the highest point at the Sharpstones – then an easy mile-and-a-bit back to the start. Very pleasant, quiet country!
