Shropshire Hills 2019 Part 1 Day 4

Thursday 1^st August 2019 (my sister’s birthday)

I was unsure of where I wanted to go, and what I wanted to do today.  I began with some vague idea of hitting the Stiperstones, so wandered up onto the Mynd and across on a diagonal, then down toward Bridges, but then changed my mind and headed east, somehow finding myself heading down the vague track that goes past the Lightspout waterfall.  I had walked up to the waterfall once before, from the Cardingmill Valley end, but never went past, probably because at the time I did not see how to navigate up it.  This time however, I was approaching from the other direction, and would arrive at the top of the waterfall.  The sun, and a few people were out, and once I got to the waterfall, I found more people had gathered there, but I did not daly, I clambered down the side of it and walked on by.  I guess I wasn’t in the mood for walking that day, as I spent the afternoon in the Church Stretton library reading a book by Malcolm Saville (who’s Lone Pine Adventures are often in locations on and around the Long Mynd).

I did, however, take one single photo today.
