Picklescott

Picklescott, Shropshire, England

8.69 KM

Quite a remote walk this one, from the village of Picklescott up to the Betchcott Hills via Wilderley Hill. My favourite image of the day is the one of the sheep shepherding, where we found ourselves following a heard of sheep along a narrow grassy lane! That picture was grabbed on a Pentax Espio, a compact film camera from early nineties.
