Ignore any dates on the photographs. Richard hasn't used his camra for a while!
The approach to Shutlingsloe.
On the summit of Shutlingsloe.

On the summit of Shining Tor.
The final approach to Lamaload.Walk stats: Distance:11.8 miles; Climb:4618'.
Time:5 hours 47 minutes; Walking average:2.4 m.p.h.;Overall walk average:2.0 m.p.h.
Group:Martyn, Richard, Celia and Roger.
This was an excellent walk completed in conditions that could best be described as one to blow the cobwebs out of your hair. Otherwise it was in the main bright and at times warm and sunny. The views from the summits of Shutlingsloe and Shining Tor were good. The highlight of the day was the friendly farmer at Greenways Farm, wit his bushy eyebrows and his tales of his walking exploits in the past, and of course there was the cute two week old calf in the farm yard.

This is definitely a walk to be repeated.
