Craven Arms station to long mynd bivvy 23rd july

Post by MM-on-POINT »

Late start bivvy from Craven arm station to the top of the long mynd for a camp in minton bash woods, route is only 8miles mainly climbing, the trip is more a get out on your bike a camp trip then anything else.

Here a snap shot of the route profile, I reckon a 4 or latest 5pm start would be most appropriate

Yep we can, wrist is still not 100%.
Meet at the gliding center, i should be there about 7-7:30pm I will be hanging around there for abit, may have my dinner there whilst waiting for you. l prob move in to the woods for about 8-30 latest to set up, so you have got a pretty big time window to meet.
Il text you my number again too.

Glider club is on the west side of the Shrops. Way IIRC. Woods are back to the east.

Do you not know about the 8 years I spent in Broardmoor for smothering snorers with an inflatable pillow while they slept?

Cruel and unusual. I'm surprised you didn't use your down jacket for a softer end :)

No dramas. Always a good time out under the stars. Perhaps life won't get in the way next time. :)
