Thank you for the video Richard. I was in this very valley a couple of weeks ago in somewhat warmer weather than you had! It is indeed a beautiful place and you can even swim in the reservoir in the summer (although probably unofficially!)
@@RichardVobes found out the Botevilles were sherriffs of Shropshire. Th king of France's granddaughter was married to the king of England (John ) & she awarded all the land around the 3 Stretton's and the surrounding hills (the very ones you & Harriet walked in your vids) to them. I have been trying to find the name of any of their estates, but no luck yet. Just that they were also given govenorship over Belvoir Castle & it was during their time there that they rebuilt the nearby Saxon church. This original 13th century stone area of the church still stands today. Any chance you have been to either of these places?
cardingmill valley should be avoided if possible. Its busy, people park badly, and no one gets more than 100m from their car or the cafe. the next valley either way are both better and have small, usually deserted car parks. btw, please put your dog on a lead, there are signs everywhere asking you to do so to protect livestock and ground birds.

I’m so fortunate to say I live in Shropshire 😁absolutely beautiful part of the country
Such lovely views and the laughter from Harriet, your commentary and little Lola antics makes it charming.. hope you didn’t hurt yourself!
cozicoops Haha no but I wasn't happy. My pride was shattered!
Such a joy to watch, thank you both for a lovely walk
Ann Osborne Thanks Ann! We enjoyed it!
Hi Richard, Harriett, and Lola! What a lovely walk. I hope you didn't hurt yourself when you took a spill.
Luckily I was ok - thanks for asking - the second part of the walk will be up tomorrow - thanks for watching. :)
A Go Pro on Lola would be amazing. Squirrel-cam 🐿😊
Hahahaha - yes that's true!
Nice film Richard,Carding Mill is one of my favourite places and Shropshire is so under-rated.
Glad the camera wasn't badly damaged.
mike saunders It is a lovely place. Back up in Salop very soon!

Sounds great!
you can swim in there, its very cold, but its listed as an activity on the CMV web site.
You seem to have an amazing amount of land without any buildings on them. Fantastic walking paths all over the place.
Ian Duff We do at the moment. Hope it stays that way.
Lovely video Richard.I wonder how Harriet and Lola are both doing.Hope they are keeping well
Brilliant video Richard thank you
Andrea Molloy Thank you.
Lovely little walk. Helps to see the part of the country my ancestors saw. They prob walked these same areas.
Yes I bet they did!

Ok
You said that the audio on that microphone didn't record last Friday Richard. Perhaps time for a service?
Jim Clarke You could be right!
How high is it to the top of Carding Mill Valley?
I think a quick look on Google will tell you. :)

It's a lovely place.
Could have been a very nasty slip, especially out in the middle of nowhere...glad it turned out ok...
