A 13 mile day walk around the Shropshire Hills above Bishops Castle with sections on the Shropshire Way and Offa’s Dyke. Turned out to be one of the hottest days of the year and we arrived back at Bishops Castle and the Six Bells rather parched.
A wild and windy weekend in Eryri/Snowdonia with heavy rain and 80 mph winds on the tops. Nevertheless, everyone managed to get out on various routes and some even made it to the seaside. For a fuller account see the blog here by a member https://davidpettit.home.blog/…/gentian-snowdonia-trip…/
