Hundred Steps meadow near Wem, North Shropshire

A hot hot day, I took a long cycle ride home from work, down the back lanes to 100 Steps on the Shropshire Way. The footpath of 100 stone steps leads down a hillside overgrown with hawthorn and hazel, across a meadow to the small River Roden. You could see the grass seed blowing across the meadow, and twinges of hayfever started to come over me. It's a lovely hidden hillside banked by a corridor of woodland, and the sound of water.
