The South Telford Way is a circular walking route within the Parishes of Stirchley & Brookside, Madeley, Dawley Hamlets and the Gorge. It is approximately 18km/12 miles in length. The route follows the remains of a network of canals, tramways, railways, coal mines, brickworks, potteries and ironworks that once flourished in the area. The path is marked by green and white waymark discs.

"The race now approaching Lightmoor Junction..."
"... will not be stopping, on the whole" because this section is all downhill, and therefore quite easy. The uphill bit along the Silkin Way near Blists Hill is a different kettle of fish.
