SHUTTLE bus services will be extended at a Shropshire beauty spot this year.
As a result of the excellent response from passengers and a very generous donation from the Little Stretton to Stiperstones time trial run and walk event, the Shropshire Hills National Landscape team now has enough funds to extend the shuttle bus service until the end of September, adding three extra weekends.
The last running day will now be September 29.
Re-launched this year with a new timetable and a more frequent service across the Long Mynd to Bridges, the shuttle has had an excellent season. The weather has brought out local and visiting walkers and many others keen to explore or re-visit the central Shropshire Hills.
The improved route now runs from Church Stretton to Bridges, Wentnor, The Bog, Stiperstones and Snailbeach returning via All Stretton, on Saturdays and Sundays from 9.15am until 5.35pm.
A £6 day rover ticket allows passengers to stay on the bus for a tour or hop on and off during the day for a walk, tea and cake at the Bog Centre or lunch at one of our distinctive country pubs.
Passengers are reminded that this is a cash-only service as the costs of setting up and maintaining the system are currently outside of reach.
