BBC Radio Shropshire's Kate Tebby left the studios behind as she discovered the joys of the Stiperstones Shuttle and the wilds of Shropshire. Across eight hours I met walkers, craftsmen, mining enthusiasts, landladies, the shuttle bus driver and his passengers. It was a lovely day, with many wonderful stories along the way and I ended where I started at Bridges in the South Shropshire hills.
