73. Pole Bank from Carding Mill Valley, 7th November, 2015

With Anca. We drove from Sayang House, the rather lovely B&B in Hope Bowlder to the NT car park just below the tea room in the Carding Mill Valley. . If all you want to do is bag the Marilyn you can park a car virtually at the top of Pole Bank but that would be little short of a crime. As we set off the rain really felt rather torrential and I wasn’t sure of the wisdom of torturing Anca by dragging her up a hill in this. So we went for a brew in the (very friendly, welcoming) tearoom to think it over. By the time we were done the rain had let off a bit so up we went. The right decision. It steadily improved and ended up pretty nice.  We followed the good path which climbs easily up the valley going right at the fork on what the map calls the Jack Mytton Way. Left at the top and a short walk had us on Pole Bank. The viewfinder on the summit suggests that in a good day you can see cadair Idris from here. We couldn’t but a pretty lovely view took in Stiperstones, Caer Caradoc, the Wreckin and Brown Clee Hill. We finished off our short, delightful hillwalk down the Townbrook Valley path and back to where we parked in time to grab a late bar lunch at the Green Dragon in Little Stretton where the beer looked very tempting but, with a long drive up the motorway ahead of me, I had to resist drinking it. It’s lovely down here and I really hope I can do a longer visit soon.
