Silkin Way (section from Stirchley down through Aqueduct)
Silkin Way Telford area
Picture update 6/2/2009: This first picture referes to the following: The Silkin Way is a 13 mile long through-route from north to south Telford (or vice-versa), designated in honour of John (later Lord) Silkin, Minister for The New Towns in the 1970s. A number of route markers are still to be found along its length, although parts of the original route have become a little vague now. The Telford Plaza office buildings are visible in the background.
The 2nd picture is of Madely Court Mill which is along the Silkin Way footpath and is next to where the GWR passes over the Tweedale to Madeley footpath and close to Madeley Court.
Noticed some good looking men (often walking dogs) in the area, Frequently stopping to read the gay graffiti on the bridge under the Brookside - Aqueduct Road on Silkn Way. I suspect at least some of them are gay looking for guys.Presumably have nice homes nearby to go back with them (have spoken to a few of them and one of two are quite chatty and I think are interested). Did meet one guy recently, and we met up later and had a really great time.
