We had driven up the precipitous Bur Way from Church Stretton to reach the top of the Long Mynd in the Shropshire Hills, and reached a small car park where we stopped. Several sheep and their lambs were wandering around, and they were obviously used to visitors and the snacks that some brought with them. I couldn't resist taking a shot of this family group, with the mother keeping a close eye on me.
Today we hiked the Carding Mynd Valley Long Mynd circular walk. after a 3 hour hike we were treated to this.

It reached a staggering 32 degrees during our Long mynd walk last Tuesday. Starting out from the shooting box car park things didn't seem so bad..... we dropped down to Bridges and Ratlinghope and then the mid day sun got serious and the climb back up to the Portway via Darnford brook was scorchio.

Set in the middle of the Shropshire Hills, alongside the Long Mynd, Carding Mill Valley is just up the road from the delightful small town of Church Stretton.
Historically the town was known for its textiles, using the abundant local wool, and a notable location for this industry was Carding Mill Valley. The carding mill there was built in the 18th century, and named after a stage in making cloth, the three stages being carding, spinning and weaving. Carding would have been done by children, and involved using a hand-card that removed and untangled short fibres from the mass of raw material. The cards were wooden blocks with handles and covered in metal spikes, which were angled (to make it easier to untangle) and set in leather. When untangled, the material would be spun, and then woven into the final product.
The carding mill closed and was demolished at the beginning of the 20th century, though the adjacent factory building remains in the valley today. The valley it is in took the name "Carding Mill Valley", and is now a tourist attraction and well-known starting location for walkers (being at the heart of the Long Mynd range). It is owned (along with the entire hill range) by the National Trust, who have a visitor centre there.

The Long Mynd is a heath and moorland plateau that forms part of the Shropshire Hills in Shropshire, England. The high ground, which is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, lies between the Stiperstones range to the west and the Stretton Hills and Wenlock Edge to the east. Much of it is owned and managed by the National Trust.
6233 "Duchess of Sutherland" works away from Craven Arms and passes Stokesay Castle, with Vintage trains "Welsh Marches Express" on 13 November 2021. I understand that the train had been stopped at Craven Arms for over 2 hours because of a fatality near Ludlow.

Magical night at the bog pools by Pole Cottage. I tried this image 2 years ago, but was never satisfied with it. The weather forecast had come together...clear skies and calm windless night to get those star reflections.
