Falling water

The sight and the sound! No, it’s not raining – it’s the water running off the Long Mynd, down into the Carding Mill valley. There hasn’t been a lot of rain recently – but there’s enough water soaked into the upland mosses to maintain a steady flow. We were going to Church Stretton anyway (Entertaining Elephants), and the weather (bright, some sunshine) was better than the forecast (dull, overcast). Would have been a shame to waste it! Up to the waterfall and back is just right for a short walk* – with the sight and sound of falling water every step of the way.
The local robins are neither shy nor modest – in fact they’re real posers! I’m not complaining…
* about 2.5 miles – and 670ft of ascent
