To start the training for the Project Peaks walks (as Scafell Pike is only two weeks away) Nick, Chris, Mel and myself went over to Church Stretton for short warm up walk. Got to Church Stretton at about 11.30 at walked the direct route up to Caer Caradoc. Much chat and constant innuendos were exchanged on the ascent – good news that weren’t totally out of breath with the effort of walking! Several photos were taken which I will try to obtain for this blog.
From the top we turned right down towards Winstone Hill and right again down the valley and back to Church Stretton. In all, it was a baby walk of around 5 miles with 300 metres ascent. Still a good starter and a brilliant introduction to summer walking this year – the weather was great.
