Gogbatch and the Mynd

A misty, murky walk on the Long Mynd, starting from its northernmost valley, Gogbatch. We’re setting out a bit later than originally intended, to give the morning’s rain a chance to clear, and while it stays dry for the rest of the day, the views are hazy at best, with no sunshine. By the time we’ve eaten our lunch, the afternoon is wearing on, so rather than the highest point at Pole Bank, we’ll turn back at the Shooting Box, looping around to avoid too much retracing of steps. It may not be at its best on a day like this, but it’s still very pleasant to be out on these hills.
