The Roman's are coming - The Wrekin Hillfort Hike - This Friday



The Friday 9th February we will be scaling the precipitous heights of Shropshire's legendary hill, The Wrekin, in the dark!!!! Ancient fortifications ring the top of this iconic hill, the capital of the Iron age Cateluvauni people but on a windswept night such as this 400 years of dominance came to an end! Roman legions had waded ashore in far away Kent and before long Shropshire's King Caradoc was on the run! We'll follow in the legionaries footsteps and trace the massive fortifications around the mini-mountain that is, The Wrekin! 


Kit List - DRESS WARM!!!! Hat, comfortable walking boots, full set of waterproofs, base layer, fleece, head torch with spare batteries, emergency whistle, personal first aid kit,  long walking trousers [not jeans], rucsac, drink and snack, watch and your Necker!
