Medieval Castles, Trapped Sheep & Total Exhaustion [Shropshire #2]
My quasi-medieval adventure continues and concludes here with what promised to be a grueling trek to the Welsh border to successfully cross Shropshire using only footpaths... kind of.
We resume things in the garden shed of Stanton Lacy village hall (which I've since learned is bizarrely 3 miles from the actual village of Stanton Lacy) having taken refuge there from an ominous thunderstorm.
What lay beyond was 28 more miles of the most gorgeous, Tolkien-esque landscapes you can imagine, and while the footpaths would improve massively, the tasks at hand seemed to get no easier. A mission to Stokesay castle for a magical SD card kicked things off, then another lamb required rescuing, and in the final few miles the adventure took on a whole new form; my weary frame pushed to the absolute limit in a bid to reach the border in time for a ticket home.
