Stiperstones 2018

 

The drive down to Bridges from Long Mynd-Pole Bank G/WB-005 is the least traumatising of the three roads on/off the Mynd, but still demands proper concentration in a couple of places!

So next was Stiperstones G/WB-003 from the main car park. This one always seems to be a bit more demanding than expected, possibly linked to being the fourth summit of a day. As usual, I didn’t climb to the trig point, but used the rocks beneath it to shelter me (and my microphone) from the prevailing wind.
