Pedometer says: 6.58 miles, 1 hour 56 minutes
Average speed: 3.4 mph
Car park to trig point: 31 minutes, 31 seconds
The key to the Wrekin is to get their early, otherwise there's nowhere to park.
Still cold (it is the middle of February), but no ice this time. Back in January the path to the top was a solid piece of ice once you got out of the trees. Then I ended up crawling sideways on all fours to try and find some grip. Thankfully not today.
It was cloudy at the top, so no view. No sun either which made it cold enough to zip the jacket up.
As usual I went down by the southern path, then around the western side back towards the road. Then up the Ercall and back down again to the car, forming a figure eight.
I suspect the milage is a little over-optimistic, I take shorter steps going up or down and the pedometer is calibrated using the mile posts on the Trent & Mersey.
