DAY 1
We will be climbing up to the top of the Titterstone Clee, followed by exhilarating turns of speed along the fantastic canter tracks, stopping for a quick lunch at Wheathill. After lunch there is the mammoth mission as we make our way through woodland tracks opening up onto the wide open space of Nordy Ring, plenty of opportunity to give the horses legs a stretch!!! Endless gallops, challenging terrain. The final challenge of the day will be a climb towards the top of the Brown Clee, reaching the highest point in Shropshire, Abdon Burf which is 1700 feet above sea level, ears may start popping at this point!! We than take a quick descent, dropping off the summit into abdon, where all hands on deck to untack and put our equine companions to bed for the evening. We then hop you all into our mini bus and take you on the final leg of the journey to our hostess for the evening Mrs Jill Scurfirld at Earnestry Hill House. Still at 1200 feet you can admire the wondrous views and relax in Jill’s Shropshire paradise. Our Guide will arrange a pick up time for the following morning, allowing a relaxing start enjoying one of Jill’s fine home cooked breakfasts.
DAY 2
After waking up and pinching yourself, as you admire the outstanding views and set yourself up for the day’s adventure. Our Guide and transport will collect riders and luggage.We head back up to the horses for a mass wake up call. (They often have a tendency to lie down and pretend that they are not there.) We tack up and set off to finish our ascent on the Brown Clee. Taking a ride over to the second Summit Clee Burf. Bit of a breather when we reach the top and check out the views, we can look across the long mynd and also observe the miles we covered the previous day. We then make our way down the hill and head off into the beautiful Boyne Estate, fantastic woodland bridle tracks, leading eventually down to a lunch stop at the Boyne Arms. After lunch we head off on an old railway, which goes on for miles, taking us onto quiet pretty lanes, which will eventually take us all home. When we arrive back at the yard, exhausted and beaming, final sponging down of our faithful four legged friends, who will all then be turned out to give their hooves a rest. So if all this sounds like the best 2 day adventure and you would like to book a place then please contact us and we will send you the booking forms.
