Wednesday afternoon found me on top of the Vinnalls Loop in Mortimer Forest not very far from where I live. Having exhausted local walks I thought it was time I returned to this spot where you have panoramic views over Shropshire, Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Wales. It is a stiff climb up though!
 But what a view!
Lisa of the blog NorthWest Frame of Mind has decided to run a different project over the next 24 weeks. To try to show what is happening in different parts of the world (if you all join in) at a particular time of day.
If you would like to participate you have until next Saturday midnight to post a photo or write about what is happening in your part of the world between 15:00 – 16:00 this week.  I hope you’ll join in! See links for more details.
Three counties, two countries, and lovely fluffy clouds too.
Great stuff Jude!
Regards as always, Pete. x
Certainly gets the heart pumping!
Beautiful views Jude. How wonderful this is not far from where you live.
Thanks Sue. Yes Shropshire is very rural, especially here in the south. I did drive to the start of this walk though!
What a view is right! This is a beautiful location and getting a great walk is a nice bonus. 🙂 Thanks so much for sharing your hour with us.
Fantastic views, Jude. Well done on the climb. 🙂
I was up at the same sort of height today, Jude, and you know what sort of a disaster that turned out! And I was home by 3, waiting for Rafa at the French. That wouldn’t make much of a ‘shot’. Pun intended 🙂
I think I know what ‘my’ walk’s going to be, somehow.
Oh I don’t know, a photo of the TV with Rafa on it would be cool! Did he win?
6-0, 6-3, 6-0 🙂
It’s beautiful countryside. How long does it take to walk up to the top?
If you are fit, about 15 minutes. If you are me, about twice that 😉
Or you can go a longer way round – the whole loop is about 3 miles, but there are a few steep bits.
It is 375 m / 1230 ft to the top.
Rewarding views 🙂 Congrats on the climb!
Cheers Paula, it’s only a mile to get up there, but it is up! And I’m not the fittest person in the world 😉
Looks like a fantastic view, and you had some lovely weather too! I often forget just how beautiful the English countryside can be. I think Saturday will be only only chance to participate in this project, just need to remember!
Ha, I have just responded to you on your post, referring to these photos. I wish I had your skill in taking landscapes 🙂
Stunning views Jude…isn’t the English countryside glorious, especially at this time of year… 🙂
It certainly is Sherri especially when the sun shines! Sadly after these photos it rained here for the following four days! I love the spring though, almost worth having to put up with the winter… I did say ALMOST!
😉
Wonderful set of photographs and brilliant blog,
Thanks for sharing, best Regards, Aquileana 😀
Thanks for the visit and the follow! Hope you enjoy travelling with me 🙂
