Summer 26 Loamhole Dingle Stage 2
T&W Council are replacing the boardwalk which had become dangerous. The work started on July 27th and is expected to last about 8 weeks. Fortunately the diversion is easy and obvious, but less scenic. Follow the Shropshire Way along the road and as it turns right into the "Rope Walk".
Going anticlockwise continue on the Shropshire Way on the "Rope Walk ".. The path down to the bridge is silll open, but if you drop down , you will have to come back up again.
See link for details.

Priorslee Flash Summer2026 Stage 7
Update July 26 : This is likely to be long term. There are safety concerns over the bridges which have been shut. The obvious diversion is to follow TCW stickers between the arrows. These take you along the other side of the lake, See the link for a map of this part. Relay runners should then turn left to the original meeting point to make up some of the distance.
January 2026. Rotunda Steps Stage 2
As the steps are likely to be closed for some time, we suggest this diversion. Instead of the blue line which is our route, follow the purple line. Turn left instead of right when you hit the path around the bottom of the hill. Continue on until you reach an enormous finger post. Turn right here up a diagonal path until you reach a junction. Here either turn right and continue to the rotunda where you do an about turn , and you are back on the usual route (this add 0.2 miles to your route) or, turn left on the original route (taking 0.3 miles off the distance) . You can see the route at the link. Update June 2026. Fundraising is almost complete and SGCT are about to start clearing the existing steps as a first step.
Please tell us and T&W (easiest way is to use the My Telford app) if you find problems.
