We were able to set off early because our bags we had packed the day before and dined with family, leaving us with very few last minute jobs to do. As we were leaving Telford we heard a loud noise on the car windscreen, a lorry had kicked up a stone.
We stopped at Corley services [...]

When I Went Down To the Woods Today
I didn’t find a Teddy Bear’s Picnic but despite that it ‘was’ rather noisy. There was music blaring out along the Silkin Way, a ride on mower in the hospital grounds, parents and children having having conversations at the top of their voices and the sound of bagpipes.
When I arrived at Apley Pool I was [...]

Tewkesbury – Day One
A friend suggested that we get together to visit Tewkesbury Medieval Fair which commemorates the Battle of Tewkesbury with re-enactments of the battle that took place there in 1471.

Over the month I walked 346,227 steps (139.51 miles).

Tolkien’s inspiration for Durin’s Door was a little too far away for a Saturday afternoon excursion so I looked for inspiration in ‘The Churches of Shropshire & Their Treasures’ to find inspiration for suitable doorways that were fitting for the presentation of my medals for completing ‘The Fellowship’ and ‘Mines of Moria’ challenges.

The Mines of Moria
I entered the Mines of Moria through Durin’s door. I then navigated my way through the mines meeting hazards along the way, to face one last hurdle where to my dismay a wizard went over the edge at Durin’s Bridge. Once on the other side of the bridge I was able to claim my medal.
