A walk up the Wrekin

We hadn't been up for a while given two awful summers on the trot

The Wrekin (pronounced ree-kin) is our very own local hill. It actually counts as a mountain as it's over !000'  (1335' to be exact).

Our little town is under the shadow of the Wrekin and is fully known as Wellington Under the Wrekin.

Today was forecast to be overcast but was a lot nicer than that so we set out- uphill all the way from our front door. It's about a 2000' climb from home.

The Winter had taken quite a few trees down  as it was a wild one and it's been a blowy Summer too.

A walk into the forest

We headed up Lime Kiln Lane and over to New Works then into the forest.

Things are now very green indeed although this is always a green landscape:
