Out via the old railway track, back via Arlescott. The weather was far too good to stay at home…

Leander
The “Severn Valley Limited” on its way to Blackpool from Bridgnorth – seen near Shifnal, several hours after departure, and running early – but still less than 10 miles (as the crow flies) from its starting point.

Clee Hill
A walk on the Brown Clee, starting from the parking space below Nordy Bank hill fort, up to Clee Burf then along the ridge to Abdon Burf. The return route was via the top stretch of the incline, then contouring around the hill back to the road near Cockshutford. The weather forecast was optimistic…

Coffee Pots at Keef’s
It’s the annual open day at the works of 
Alan Keef Ltd, near Ross-on-Wye – always an interesting event (not to mention the hot pork baps). Star attractions this year were vertical boilered “Chaloner” and “Taffy” – built in 1877 and 1994 respectively – not forgetting the widely-travelled “Peter Pan”

We’re open!
The Apedale Valley Light Railway, constructed by the Moseley Railway Trust, officially opens this weekend. For more pictures etc. visit Apedale – open for traffic on Geoff’s Rail Diaries
Wrekin
A walk up the Wrekin on a bright, breezy and showery afternoon
Heritage Open Day 12 Sept.
Couldn’t see anything local that appealed particularly – but this caught my eye – the Aston Manor Road Transport Museum in Birmingham (just along the road from Aston hall and Aston Villa…). Two of the preserved vehicles were offering rides – a 1954 Daimler, the classic Birmingham bus of the
50s and 60s, and a 1963 Midland Red coach (another very familiar vehicle). The museum itself is housed in a former tram depot, complete with tram rails – an interesting little collection, well worth a visit.

Stipersnaps
Walking the Stiperstones ridge on a fine September day
Ashes Hollow and Long Mynd
A walk from Little Stretton to Pole Bank – up the Ashes Hollow, back along the ridge and down into Small Batch…

Pole Bank – lunchtime.
Almost back – view to Church Stretton
More from Summerlee
There’s enough of interest at Summerlee to merit a “Rail Diaries” – several (static) steam locomotives, and more of the tram in action. Visit Summerlee for the full story
