From Sutton Maddock

Starting with a walk on the wild side (the east bank of the Severn): I’m getting a lift to Sutton Maddock – I can walk back on mostly good farm tracks – just a tiny stretch of tarmac over the river at Coalport. Wild maybe; it’s not very exciting on the far side, until I start to descend to the riverbank, on a path that’s made walkable (just) by wooden boardwalks and steps. Serious mud in these parts! Once over the river, I’m on safer ground, though there’s little daylight left – the sun’s set by the time I’m home.
