The reason for my rating is that I never did the walk because I couldn't download the instructions or map!!! I think your site needs some attention. I can read pdf files but it kept redirecting me around in circles to get a pdf reader. Sorry totally useless.

We found it impossible to follow the Shropshire Way South-West from Wilderhope Manor: it just seems to peter out after about 500 metres.
