A walk up the Wrekin
The Wrekin is our local mountain. It counts as a mountain as it has an elevation of over 1000 feet.
We took a walk up to the summit today as we hadn't been up for a while and it was a nice enough day.
We walked from home through Ercall Woods to get to the foot of the Wrekin:
This is Buckatree Pool:
The wild garlic is beginning to put in an appearance:
The burn is well topped up after recent rain:
And we reached the foot and began the climb:
This is about half way up where you start to see the views over the north Shropshire countryside towards Wales:
And out onto the summit:
Looking down into the valley of the River Severn:
Can't argue with this:
Heading back down this is the Ercall as seen from the Wrekin:
And we found a rather splendid fungus on the way back home:
