Hello,
I was wondering if any of the Shrewsbury runners could be so kind as to recommend good routes? I'm going to be in the town on a weekend when I should be doing a 22mile run. I was going to run to Haughmond and back then carry on to the quarry and run round it until I've clocked up enough miles. My starting point will be near the weir. Any recommendations gratefully received, the town has changed a lot since I last lived there...

Had a beautiful run from Shrewsbury to Wrockwardine and back again along the route 81 cycle track, hardly any traffic, the countryside looked glorious and didn't get chased by any farmers. Also went up Haughmond (different day), a lot of work's been done on the paths since last time I was up there. But was disappointed by the sight of bags of (dog?) poo hanging from the trees, that's not the sort of behaviour I expect from Shire folk.
Wow I thought I knew Route 81 - just checked it online. It is a nice route, I have cycled & run it many times. I live not too far away from Wrockwardine and most of my running routes are around there. I havent been up Haughmond Hill in years but people tell me it's changed a lot, and not for the better
