Prayer House in the Wood

.....that's what Betws-y-Coed means apparently.  Spent a few days staying at Squirrel Cottage in the village to do some walking and take a break from normal life.

Snailbeach

24/07/2017.  Snailbeach, Shropshire.
 A nice area but the walking book we were following had the shittest directions ever!  After several wrong turns along the way we eventually ended up scrambling down from the hills on some steep ridge on a vague loose rocky track.  I slipped a few times but Bec hated it and edged most of the way down on her bum, like a crab 😉

Clun

 Friday 20th Jan 2017.  Clun.
Before today I'd never heard of a place called Clun.  South Shropshire somewhere.  It does exist.
When out and about exploring the countryside I like woods, hills, valleys and old ruined buildings, or even better ruined castles.  Trudging through farmers fields is pretty boring, so as natural and wild as possible is best.  Clun has several of those things, so pretty good for a 9 mile walk.....
