Marvellous weather, clear and sunny, quite a breeze on the hills \u00a0A few others on top of Caer Caradoc, some runners going up Hope Bowdler and then a chap on the top who asked if there was anywhere better to be – I agreed not.<\/p>\n

Down to the road and then up Hazler Hill and along to Ragleth. \u00a0Steep descent into Little Stretton, where I had an orange juice in the pub (I wanted to use the lav) and popped into a little shop – the village seemed a bit ‘local’.<\/p>\n

\"Caer<\/a> \"Hills<\/a><\/p>\n

Up via<\/em> Cross Dyke to the road across the Long Mynd; exchanged a few words with a woman who seemed to be a kindred spirit. \u00a0Beautiful valleys with wild camping potential. \u00a0 On to the summit of Pole Bank where there seemed to be some wheelchair accessible paths – great opportunity for everyone to experience the hills. \u00a0From the toposcope I could identify the distant hills I had been able to see all day – the Malverns, Clee Hills, bits of the Brecon Beacons and, on the edge of visibility, where the clouds and the peaks become indistinguishable, Snowdonia.<\/p>\n

I think I took a different path than that intended but found my way down Carding Mill Valley. \u00a0It suddenly got much busier and I eventually reached a National Trust car park and cafe. \u00a0Back into Church Stretton for an outside beer (first of the year) and lots of tense rugby fans.<\/p>\n
