This photo was taken on 11/8/08. From the Port Way road on the west side of the Long Mynd looking towards Wales. You can see a shower approaching. I was riding my bicycle from Wellington to Knighton and met the shower at Bishop's Castle. What a summer we had! The white object is a Marquee, that was being taken down.

Dist:0.5km<br/>I admit to some trepidation as this is one of the steepest, narrowest roads I've driven, with a sheer drop on one side and very few passing places. See [[1043827]] and [[1043834]].

Dist:0.6km<br/>Nearing the Asterton road, the lane is converted into a stream on this wet November day. Oaks are in full colour.

Dist:0.7km<br/>The very steep western flank of the mountain overlooks the broad flat valley of the River Onny. The land then rises again on the other side, with Corndon Hill the bulky high point in the distance.

Dist:0.7km<br/>I had to walk back to check out the gradient of the slope dropping away from the lane. I was very thankful I had not met with a vehicle coming down.

Dist:0.9km<br/>At this point it is more like a canal! Rain is falling in heavy drops on this November morning.
