Much Wenlock

Much Wenlock

Sunday 27th October

Taking advantage of the extra hour we ventured out for the annual visit to Much Wenlock but on our own this year. Excitement being provided by the downpour on the day before and the hight of the Severn. Then concern that after three years as to whether The George & Dragon was in serving food.

Sun all the way, food in the George & Dragon and an a sweety from a kind lady at the afternoon coffee stop.

Start - Coffee 9½Km. Lunch 13½Km - Afternoon pause 19½Km. Finish 23Km. Total ≈ 14¼Miles. (526m assent)
