Railway van shed A variation on the classic theme of the redundant railway van sold for re-use as a store shed. This one is beginning to suffer, with damage to the roof and a failed door-frame. Another van is in the hedge, obscured by fencing posts and not a good geograph subject.

Footbridge and stile near Clun The footbridge is obviously seasonal as this area close to the Unk gets wet in winter etc but at the moment it seems, and is, a bit redundant.

Muddy feeders The cattle don't seem to mind the morass around their feeders - after all, they are still enjoying the fresh air and November sunshine instead of being stuck in a barn. The farm road is part of the Jack Mytton Way.

Clun Castle ruins in May Take a picnic lunch (pork pie, cider, homemade sarnie, fruit for dessert maybe) and go pink under the sun, barefoot on the green turf and lie down and watch the blue sky for a while.
