Over a year ago we started walking the Severn Way, and did quite well, getting almost as far as Shrewsbury, from Bristol. There are some pictures HERE.

Because of the rotten weather last year, and this year, we never finished it. As we were in the area yesterday, and thanks to an invigorating night in the Wolverhampton Travelodge (motto: don’t knock it ’till you’ve tried it), we thought we would at least complete the path as far as north of Shrewsbury. Shrewsbury is very nice. It has the inevitable shopping area with all the usual chain stores, but the river follows a very interesting, and quite easy, meandering, walk around the town. We did about 12 miles, going downstrean to where we previously finished at Atcham.
