Church Stretton Day 2 1 December 24

 It rained most of the Saturday night but the forecast was good from 1000 to 1500 Sunday so I decided to go and visit Pole Bank, the highest point on Long Myndd.

Leaving Chursh Stretton via Townbrook Valley a lot of mist was encountered but the Pole bank summit was reached in 90 minutes encountering just 2 sheep, 1 dog and 2 humans!
