I recently obtained the North Telford Coronation walks booklet and I am hoping to tick off all the walks before the end of 2025.

I started with one of my local walks where I could walk from home. I started the walk from the pedestrian crossing rather than Leegomery Community Centre. Along the way I detoured taking in Apley pool and Leegomery pools extending my walk to around 4 miles.

The weather was a little chilly and the sky rather overcast leading to a walk that blew away the cobwebs. Along the way a encountered two former colleagues and a Police Officer looking for a homeless person with an aggressive dog setting up a shelter in the woodland area.

I had a brief conversation with the Police Officer and confirmed that I hadn’t seen anything untoward. He bid me goodbye saying, enjoy the rest of your walk.

A Fisherman's Lot

I continued my walk around Apley Pool where I saw several shelters around the pool that had been erected by fishermen just doing their thing.

Dance by a meadow -

Or sit by a stream and just be.

The lilt of the water will gather your worries and carry them down to the sea.
