I will revise my answer to the adjacent slope of Ashlet, that nice easy starter-climb on the Callow race!
approx 350mtrs, GR 440 928
Spot on. It sure is a great way to start a race.Quote:

Wonderful names for all these summits on the Long Mynd: Ashlet, Yearlet, Grindle, Nills, Callow, . . .
I'm thinking of giving that a go sometime soon but not before spring next year. I can definitely see the wheels coming off if that climb is 3 hours in. It's thankfully not as bad as Yearlet though. That has to be the toughest in the area from either the LMVs or Callow direction.Quote:

But yes, none of the climbs are as bad as Yearlet from any direction...!

Another one from me. A famous view, but does any one know it?!?
Are you near Camasunary by the river coming out of Loch na Creitheach with Blabheinn (Blaven) in the cloud on the right?Quote:
