We are set to complete our 50 mile walk around Telford. It has been an enlightening experience finding so many beautiful green areas in such unlikely places. We have walked, talked and picnicked our way round with the odd drop in to members gardens when COVID restrictions allowed. What made the experience so pleasurable was the company of fellow members and our furry companions. We will dedicate our last section to Margaret Chavasse an avid Walker taken from us too soon. Follow the pink foot The next leg leaves The Wrekin behind and takes us from Lawley, via Horsehay, to Oakengates. It is amazing to find some beautiful green spaces where, when passing by car, the areas look built up and these green havens are missed. View of the Wrekin from the Ercall. A bit off track but we made it in the end Telford_50_trail_Info_leaflet

SI the Wrekin joined the Silhouettes of the first women to vote at the museum of Iron The Silhouettes now all have Orange the World badges to promote the campaign Orange the world – The 25th November is the International day for the Elimination of Violence against women. #HearMeToo. Women wanted the vote to make a change towards a more equal society including an end to domestic violence. Sadly despite legislation 1 in 4 women in the U.K. will suffer domestic violence in their lifetime and 2 women a week will die as a result of domestic violence.
