The annual celebration of everything Telford's rich walking landscape has to offer is over for another year, after 31 events in seven days, hundreds of miles trekked - and enough rain to make anyone pine for a heatwave or two.

I had booked the week off work well in advance and put myself down for a walk almost every day, in the hopes of filling in more of my mental map of Telford, learning new things and seeing new sights.
