A short (3 miles) but very pleasant walk in the hills on the western side of the quiet Shropshire village.

   

   

   

A walk on the Long Mynd from Cardingmill Valley – ascending via the Batch Valley and Jonathan’s Hollow, then back down Mott’s Road for a cup of tea in the company of a cheeky chaffinch

   

   

   

Spring is really here – I walked most of the route in shirt sleeves… Broseley – Linley Green via the Honeypot, then down to the river, walking the bank as far north as Ballsfoundry, before climbing back up to Broseley via Inett Farm and Caughley Road

   

   

   

   

   

   

Coalport – Madeley – Ironbridge – Jackfield – on an afternoon which felt positively springlike.

   

   

   

   

   

Not a cloud in the sky, just a breath of wind. The air was cold – could have been clearer, but a great day to be out on the hills of Shropshire

   

   

   

   

A walk near Broseley, on a cold sunny afternoon.

   

   

   

   

High ground in the centre of the triangle formed by Bridgnorth, Broseley and Much Wenlock – a walk on a cold frosty afternoon

   

   

   

   

Blue sky and sunshine, after a very wet weekend – the path up the Wrekin ought to be as good as any when the ground is waterlogged. It was – but cloud obscured the sun and took away the blue sky…

The herd of deer on the hill’s western flank was a bonus.

   

   

   

A walk in the snow, at first along the old railway track, from Ironbridge to Coalport and back.

   

   

   

   

It’s cold in Shropshire! A little way down the road, on our way home at 3.45pm (just before sunset), the car thermometer read -6°C.
