To confirm, the Shuttle Bus is running as usual this weekend (25 & 26 July). The Shuttle Bus has special permission to travel its usual circuit which includes the Long Mynd. With this dry spell of warm weather, the risk of wildfires is high. Please don’t BBQ on the hills or use any type of naked flame. Please do everything you can to protect people and wildlife in these hot and dry conditions. If you see a wildfire, please call 999 straight away.
