The drive from Shrewsbury town centre, to the walk start, should take around 50 minutes, to cover the 31 miles.
The undulating and I believe, entertaining, circular walk, will make use of the Sandstone Trail, roughly from just south of Maiden Castle, to almost reach Beeston Castle.
The part of the walk that doesn’t go along the Sandstone Trail, will see us go cross country, while visiting the hamlets/villages of Burwardsley, Hart Hill, Fullers Moor and Brown Knowl.

Most walks are for a full day of 6 to 8 hours, and are graded as follows:
C - walks that, while often involving mountains, are usually on obvious footpaths and with moderate gradients. This grade also covers lowland walks, and would not normally exceed 12 miles.
B - Mountain or moorland walks which don't include scrambles.
A - Any walk including a scramble.
For Sunday walks, we meet at north side of Abbey Foregate, Shrewsbury (200 m beyond the Peach Tree), at times shown above. We'll see how many cars are required, and who's happy to drive, then travel to the walk start. People wishing to meet at the walk start may do so if agreed with the walk leader.
