Have just seen the August edition of the CC Magazine. In the regular walking section is a walk along Wenlock Edge. It is promoting the Much Wenlock site as the nearest club site for the walk. Very strange that this should appear at the same time as notice of the site closing because of non-renewal of the lease!! Another example of the Club's left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing!!

Probably prepared and published before the final decision was made. Its just unfortunate that the announcement was made within days of the magazine being distributed.

Very much doubt that David. We were told last year that the site was due to close at the end of it's 2016 season.

But were you told that by an official Club source by which I don't mean the site warden? The problem here is that whilst any negotiations were on going it is still a Club site. The article concerned was probably commissioned months ago, or longer. Surely the main point of the article was about the walk which could still be enjoyed whether you stayed at the site or not? The site won't be there next year but the walk will be.

The nearest car park, not mentioned in the walk (under point 4) is a small non facility NT one further along the road, heading away S/W from Much Wenlock going past the site. The walks from this point are varied and walking towards Ippikins Rock there are good views of the Long Mynd and the Wrekin. There is a farm campsite near the N/W side so a good spot to stay to enjoy the area.
