Forecast for today...Cracking morning, but it wasn’t to last. We went into Shrewsbury to run some errands and got rained on a lot. On the way back we went scouting for sites. We really need a SW site more locally which can take some wind and Roy Dade has possibly found such a site.

We got there and climbed up to the summit and the site looks doable. We explored it a bit and then walked back diagonally across the field. I don’t know how we managed it, but we ended up at a fence we hadn’t seen before, were we were chased by a heard of frisky young cows and had to jump over a fence whilst they ran up to it full pelt and then stopped just short, snorting and sniffing. I have no idea how we managed to get lost in a square field, but we did and had to walk the boundary of the field to get back to the starting point at launch to walk back to the car which was perfectly obvious once we were there. Of course, as soon as we were 5 minutes from the car the skies opened and we got soaked.
