Snailbeach

Post by Germain »

Junior bear and I are trying to keep busy and it's cool enough to go exploring. We were heading for The Bog which is off in the Shropshire Hills and gives a good indication of being a possibly fruitful butterfly and dragon hunting area but I got side tracked the Snailbeach lead mines and Gosh was more that happy to join in.

Gosh wondering what size of bunny lives down there and then checking in that we were going to climb the steps .
The views were spectacular - stopped to chat with a man doing a roof repair and he appreciated how much I was admiring the view -he sees it daily from his kitchen sink

I do love an old structure to explore and photograph
