The Longmynd

Today’s walk was from the house we’re staying in, and it was nice not to be taking a coach anywhere. We walked up onto the Longmynd, then back down Carding Mill Valley to the tea shop and then back home - about 6.5 miles in total. Unfortunately, my knee started hurting on the descent so I kept having to stop and stretch my muscles to try and ease it a bit - it made me very slow. And it didn’t help a lot so I was in pain for a lot of the time after we’d stopped for lunch. It was also a shame that we were shrouded in mist for most of the walk so we couldn’t see any nice views at all. Pity - it’s a lovely area to walk in.

I got a message from Paul this evening to let me know that the fridge freezer at home had broken so was gradually defrosting. So a new one will be needed fairly urgently!
