The second coming. Only six leapers braved the snowy conditions to take part in the informal training yomp across the Wrekin fault.
This time the route started from Little Wenlock and to the summit of the Wrekin before heading South west via Cressage, up and over The Lawley, Caer Caradoc, Helmeth Hill, Hazler Hill and finally Ragleth Hill. A pleasant descent and into the Ragleth Arms for well earned beer and pub grub. A total distance of 22 miles with approximately 2,300m ascent. The 2006 leapers were Andy Smith, Lee Aston, Scott Lewis, Simon Dawes, Mark Fenn and John Sanders. The group set off at 7:20 and arrived at the pub just before 14:00. Support crew (collecting us from the pub) were Alison Lewis and Rachael Fenn Good walk, good company, good pub, good food and cold Guiness what more can I say oh yes the snow was a bonus Scott Lewis we can all recommend food at ragleth especially the bread&butter pud!! Rachael Fenn Any of you lot tired then cos I am, feel like I've run a marathon!! My groin's hurting, am very tired & I can't stop eating!!! Smiffy Thanks for a good day out and good company. Johns bread pudding was fantastic! Simon Dawes |
