A walk up the Wrekin

[cmcmck]

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:
