Welshpool Group Walk -13 January 2013

14 members gathered at Clun on 13th January for a very enjoyable winter walk in bright, frosty conditions. The 6½ mile circular route, led by Geoff McLean, started from the Village Hall car park, skirting the still quiet town to gain the Shropshire Way as it followed the River Clun for a short distance. This part of the walk was made even more attractive by the slight mist and frosty landscape, the Castle ruins making a picturesque backdrop. At an intersection of paths, an easterly direction was taken to Bicton, then a footpaths, a lane and, for a short distance, the A488 to Colstey Farm which marked the northerly limit of the route. Heading back to Clun, footpaths were followed to Guilden Down, near to where a lunch stop was made, before rejoining the Shropshire Way to the end of the walk.
