Hey White Rider - glad to see someone else getting out into Shropshire :o)

Did you visit Abdon Burf at the same time as this? I also observed you were at Mitchell's Fold for Solstice. Were you there for sunrise? If so, who were you, as I was there too (the bloke running about with a tripod!).

Cheers

Tim
