Stiper Stones, Shropshire 14th December 2019
The Stiperstones
On Saturday 14th December 9 members gathered at Snailbeach, Shropshire for a walk on the Stiperstones.
It was a blustery day and we were of course walking into the wind as we ascended up the track and onto the summit ridge area. The going underfoot became more difficult due to the wind and the slippery nature of the damp rocks we were walking on. Undeterred a number of the group scrambled over the various tors before we moved on to Cranberry Rock and The Bog visitor centre below where we were at last out of the wind.
We then contoured the west side of the hill high above the very attractive Perkins Beach and onto Green Hill descending Mytton Dingle. The pub was full when we arrived so we had a bite to eat outside before moving on via Crowsnest and back to Snailbeach.
10 miles and 500 metres of ascent.
