Route
Start place: Pontesford Hill carpark, SY5 0UH. What3Words: tributes.polished. agreeing. The car park (free, well signed) is approximately 500 yards down Pontesford Hill Road on the left hand side. To reach it turn off A488 adjacent to Wynnstay County Store which is on the eastern boundary of Pontesford
Essentials: ~18 miles distance and 3,000 ft ascent. My estimates; I don't have a gadget. We do all the hard work at the start in the first quarter of the walk. Immediate steep up Pontesford Hill, then long grass paths to Stiperstones. Nipstone Rock for lunch. If too hot, I'll truncate walk with lunch at Stiperstones. Bring all food/drink (none on route). Wear suitable clothing for weather. Bring sun protection. Current temperature forecast is hot. *** Bring plenty of water ***
