Shropshire Lad's Three Peaks Challenge

Well, we needed something to get us back into the game after this long winter period so I devised the Shropshire Lad's Three Peaks challenge which involved a two day hike from my village up to the Titterstone Clee Hill, over to the Brown Clee Hill and then over Wenlock Edge and finally to the Long Mynd. Like all these planned trips nothing goes according to plan and the weather decided to give us a kicking so we altered our plans along the way!
Follow along to see how we got on!

Looks like a good Walk. I will be on the Mynd in the next couple of weeks myself. I’ll keep my eyes open for your carrion picked corpses and notify your next of kin 😋😋😋

[@ashropshirelad]

That has to be the best comment ever. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@modestadventurers]

@@ashropshirelad I doth my cap to thee. 13/14 miles in a day carrying a full pack up and down those inclines is good going. Pat yourself on the back. Dave not so much, he was probably just riding your slipstream 😉

[@ashropshirelad]

@@modestadventurers I hear what youre saying, we never learn though....always looks easy on the map and we end up doing too much, cheers for watching bud.

Jason Bourne that got me 😂😂 You to are more like Laurel & Hardy. Great vid pal

[@ashropshirelad]

Ha Ha, You're not wrong there boss!

[@IrelandRider]

That was a great video to watch. I have gotta say, you guys did fantastically. The tip about how far you could walk with a backpack on was invaluable, to me anyway, cuz I'm really unfit and I'd struggle with 10 miles a day let alone the 16 you did and the 13 you recommended. Oddly I have 13 tattooed on me a few times, so a good number to come up with haha. I hope the Chinese and Royal oak pub grub was lush? I'm sure it was after that hike 🚶‍♀️ 👍

[@danmegoutdoors8709]

Cracking video, always entertaining, good to see you out 👍👍

[@ashropshirelad]

Aye up Danny, good to hear mon, was good to get out although I am hankering more for a summers evening by a nice fire and sat in a t-shirt instead of shivering under my quilt! Hope you're well boss. atb, GJ.

@@ashropshirelad im starting to think im a better weather camper after my last camp 2 weeks ago, not much fun being stuck in a tent for 14 hours lol, it wasnt cold but the rain and wind was relentless.

@@ashropshirelad good stuff. just got a notification for the CPAP machine video I have been waiting for this since I seen it on 1 of your videos ages ago. Will need to watch it tomorrow though.

[@everyoneknowsadave3580]

16 miles first day.. wow!! no wonder ya plates of meat were throbbin’ !! … nice overnighter though with a bit of adverse weather / conditions to keep it real … one of the best feeling in the world getting the dry jammie’s on and curling up in the quilt or sleeping bag … conversely putting wet clothes back on has gotta be one of the worst feelings 😂 anyhoo thanks for sharing your adventure with Dave O … ATB Dave Mc

[@ashropshirelad]

Cheers Boss, yes , we seem to make the same miscalculation over and over, from the comfort of our living rooms, adding an extra bit to a route seems a good idea until about mid afternoon and we realised we’ve bitten off more than we can chew again! Trying to aim for around 13 miles as a sensible day from now on. Thanks for dropping by, atb, GJ

[@Bam123412]

Great video Gord. Looks like one of my wet and muddy walks.As soon as the clocks go forward I'll be lurking on Battlestones and Callow like some mysterious wraith! Look forward to seeing your next adventure!
