Up on the Stiperstones and the Arenigs and Berwyns show themselves for the first time. - IMG_4066.JPG
Quartzite. Tough stuff. So, so, old as well. 480 million says Wiki. - IMG_4091.JPG
An oddly ominious name for a thoroughly harmless patch of forest! - IMG_4096.JPG
Great views, Arenigs/Berwyns in the far distance. They'll keep dominanting for days now. - IMG_4119.JPG
The unclimbed Corndon hill gently chiding me. Still, I got most of the views either the previous day or from the hill I went over next to it. - IMG_4148.JPG
Arenigs and friends from Beacon ring above Welshpool. Maybe a few real giants in the distance view here. - IMG_4163.JPG
Why were these ever ugly ducklings? - IMG_4172.JPG
Breidon hill. A fine outpost over the Severn valley, utterly mutilated by the quarry. Originally a volcanic intrusion of some sort. - IMG_4183.JPG
More swans - rare to see a nest. - IMG_4186.JPG
Some amusing history here, a mighty fine quarry face it is though. - IMG_4192.JPG
Not an entirely normal footpath sign! - IMG_4195.JPG
Railway restoration with a lot of work to do..... - IMG_4205.JPG
A slightly random small lump with vast views. This is back into Shropshire. - IMG_4206.JPG
Fairly sure this is the sandstone hill on which I finished on day 10, with the Wrekin behind. - IMG_4217.JPG
Spelling! - IMG_4219.JPG
A cruel sign to give to a hungry walker :) - IMG_4237.JPG
Really nice evening by now. This is N out of over Chirk castle to various things beyond. - IMG_4241.JPG
I do love the colours in these ones when the leaves are young and windblown. Not trivial to capture. - IMG_4249.JPG
Chirk castle. Big! - IMG_4254.JPG
Chirk aqueduct - not as famous as one over the Dee a little further down, or quite as terrifying to go along (its more conventional.). Awfully nice in the evening light though. - IMG_4262.JPG
A thoroughly rubbish day through hard to navigate farmland (with aggressive cows & stuff) and lanes. This butterfly was modest compensation. - IMG_4279.JPG
They're rarely this well drilled! Very tidily in the mothers wake. - IMG_4280.JPG
A large sized brood. - IMG_4282.JPG
Some big birdy, unsure quite what. - IMG_4312.JPG
Some woodland on the Beeston hills. Very fine things in fact, with wide ranging views.
