A dry but cold and very windy weekend in the Shropshire Hills staying at Church Stretton Scout HQ.  Saturdays walk was from Church Stretton up Ashes Hollow and over Pole Bank before descending Carding Mill valley and calling in the National Trust café for hot chocolate and coffee.

Sundays walk was from Ratlinghope, over Betchcott Hills and Wild Moor, accompanied all the way by the sheepdog from Brow farm.
