The transmitter mast on the Wrekin


The end of the long road to the summit


The village of Little Wenlock partly hidden by the low cloud


Admiring the view over the sea of cloud


The transmitter from the west


View north with the Berwyns visible to the left


Rock outcrop with the area of high ground south of Telford free of cloud


The Severn Valley is buried down there somewhere, Buildwas power station chimney can be seen

Also to the south west is the Long Mynd


Close up of the Buildwas power station chimney


The Brieden Hills with the Arans at the back to the right and 57 miles away is Cadair Idris to the left


There's plenty of people on the summit today


Low cloud around Telford


Another view to the Long Mynd & the Welsh Hills


A silouette of 2 people enjoying the views


Further south is Brown Clee Hill


Down below, just free of cloud is Wrekin Farm


Wider view of the scene south


Slowly the cloud retreats leaving white frosted fields behind


A helicopter appears bringing an icy blast of air down from above


Orange colours on the Wrekin from the setting sun


The trees break the sun's rays over the top of the cloud


The setting sun behind Caer Caradoc


View to Little Wenlock


Looking south to Brown Clee Hill


The sun disappears from view


On the northern side some fields are revealed


Fine sunset to the west


At dusk lights come on at Telford
