Here I am again, fifty odd years since my last visit. I took part in one of the very first Longmynd hikes as a callow youth. No I didn't finish. I gave up at check point 10 below Corndon Hill in the early hours of the morning, much to the relieve of the squadies who had been lumbered with me when we were grouped after nightfall. So, back again. We were staying in Church Stretton so walked up the (Shropshire Way?) path that traverses above the Carding Mill car park before road and path converge at the Information point. Oh boy! The car park was heaving. The info centre was choc-a-bloc. Yes folks it's school holiday time. We followed the well marked Pole Bank route with a diversion to the waterfall. (Worth the few minutes it adds.) But the crowds! They eased off after the waterfall as we left the rocky canyons and entered the moorland that felt very much like home, ie flat and featureless. (Hence the "average" score.) I suppose the views are extensive, and there's a good viewfinder. I would have been more impressed if I had been more familiar with the far off mounds. An easy. mostly crowd free route down and we were able to point some lost soles to the car park. I did offer a peek at my newly purchased OS Explorer map (I figured my 1960s One-inch Sheet 129 - 8/- - wasn't going to cut the mustard today), but was refused. "I'm not very good with maps." Sigh!

Whilst working away from home in The West Midlands took a most enjoyable evening circular walk from Pole Cottage via Round Hill, then Grindle, off Callow to Little Stretton then climbing back up Ashes Hollow before bagging Pole Bank just before dark.

Parked on the Port Way - an an ancient trackway which runs the length of the Long Mynd massif, this section having been upgraded to a road. Took the public right of way which runs from there up to the summit of Pole Bank and the pillar. There is a toposcope close to the pillar. The cap was missing from the pillar, so I replaced it. There are a couple of chunks missing from the top of the pillar.

Pillar ground very eroded at the base. Wet, cold and windy day. Frost on top. Not a great viewing day. Normally, spectacular panoramic views. The reason for the name (Long Mount) Myndd is a welsh word for mountain.

Well this is indeed a very long mountain. I'm glad then that I was just walking it from Church Stretton to YHA Bridges. Here a day early for the Trigger's Gathering in Clun. Doing a little bit of overtime :). I imagine it's a pretty rare thing that an individual pillar receives the attention of TP:UK users on five consecutive days.

Lovely walk up from Little Stretton through Ashes Hollow to Boiling Well. Not sure whether I like the manufactured track over the summit but there is the road nearby already and it was nice to see a mobility scooter making use of a rare opportunity to summit. Picked out the neighbouring hills in the grey using the toposcope and then made our way down by Grindle and Small Batch.

The second of three trigpoints on a marvellous walk along the whole of the Long Mynd. It was so clear that I could see Mount Snowden, over 60 miles away!

Picked up while spending a day in mixed weather doing all the geocaches on The Long Mynd. In the clearer gaps between showers, there were good views - but you couldn't see Snowdon, in the direction indicated on the adjacent pillar!

Trig point suffering from some erosion, I think it falls into "slightly damaged" rather than "good". Easy to get to on foot after a somewhat hairy drive up the hill. Lovely views and an interesting toposcope too. The picnic-ers were out in force, together with an elderly pair who must have been about 90 years old. Well impressed, I was. Hope I can do that when I'm that age.

Long planned to come into this area and now plan to return to climb Caer caradoc. As it was a quiet weekday I abandoned the car at the point the path leaves the road in a large bpassing place (not a weekend spot) simple walk to stretch the slightly achy muscles. Views improving but still very hazy. Not sure how warranted slightly damaged is

Plug missing; three sighting holes open; some slight damage to top of the pillar. Views to the Stiperstones and Clee Hills; very windy. The path through Ashes Hollow is recommended! Revisited 25 March 2005 - good views today. Revisited 25 August 2007 - no change in condition but the nearby surface block is on a tilt.
