Darnford Brook and the Mynd

We’re out on the hills, on this fine, bright and dry October day. The hills in question would have been the Stiperstones, to be followed by tea and cake at the Bog Centre. Disaster – it’s closed (earlier than usual) until next spring! So we’re starting at Bridges, a mile or two further east, for a walk up the beautiful valley of Darnford Brook, up onto Betchcott Hill, along the ridge of the Long Mynd as far as Shooting Box, and back down the track to Coates and the lane to Bridges…
…where, instead of tea and cakes, we’ll have to make do with Three Tuns beer and some excellent crisps. Disaster? Certainly not!
