5.9 mile walk from parking area west of Cockshutford. Along minor road through village then along stream to Five Springs and col beyond. From col we did an out-and-back to Brown Clee Hill (previously bagged in 2009), then back to col and up to Clee Burf descending mast lane back to car as the sun was going down. The light was amazing that evening and we could easily make out Welsh hills from north to south. From Cadair Idris (easily seen) down to Coety Mountain in the Valleys. Surprisingly saw 2 people up there that time of the day! Earlier that day we did a circular bagging Wolverton Hill, Callow Hill and Diddlebury Common in equally amazingly sunny and clear conditions.DanTrig14/03/2022
