Magnificent campsite a mile from Cardington... 'let's have a wee look around'...
best part of 4 hours later we dragged ourselves into the pub!
Lots of ups & downs, across farmland, footpaths, & odd byways...
much of the land around the heights east of Cardington is open access.
A wee bit o'steep road-walking to access the NE end of The Lawley
377m that bloody hill, on a breezy day, 'twas an hard ask of elderly gentlefolk...
especially ones with knees! Off in the distance, that's The Wrekin.
Fantastic views & plenty to see (if one managed to catch one's breath!)
Here's the top... & that's Caer Caradoc looming over Church Stretton.
Downhill was an awful lot worse! To's hurty toes!
There was cows - or I could be talking a load o'bullocks
It brightened as we plodded the road back to Cardington...
vistas aplenty... great views of Hope Bowdler Hill
(beautiful-looking, triple summit 426m/410m/393m, open access)
the usual countryside tat - guardians of the environment my arse!
The Royal Oak was very easy to find at the end of this
ill-conceived, lovely, interesting toe-torture
- transpired the insole had slid down in me newish boot!
Good pints... then some more...
