Overview

After a climb up Blakeway Hollow, we'll follow the Shropshire Way / Cross Britain Way along Wenlock Edge to Presthope, returning on the Jack Mytton Way. We'll be near the top of the ridge most of the way so, (weather permitting), we should have great views from both sides of the Edge towards Shrewsbury, the Wrekin, Souh Shropshire hills and into Wales.
