A slightly curious, but entirely delightful walk in the wild country west of the Stiperstones ridge. Curious? We’re heading from the Bog car park to the top of Mucklewick Hill, where we’ll enjoy our lunch in a breeze which makes the warm sunshine very pleasant – but that top (a magnificent viewpoint for the surrounding country) is about 50 feet lower than our starting point.
After lunch, we’ll drop down to Nind (a few farm buildings and couple of noisy dogs) then up again through the shade of attractively mixed woodland. It opens out to wild grassland leading to the southern part of the Stiperstones, for a stroll through a prolific crop of bilberries (they call them ‘wimberries’ in these parts). We’ll nibble the odd one or two – but we have an appointment at the Bog Centre for tea and cake. Don’t want to spoil our appetites!
