Today began with the usual 7.30 start and we had about an hour and a half drive to the start of the walk. We drove through a bit of rain and the forecast was for showers, so we all put on waterproofs. The first part of the walk was flat through lots of fields with lots of stiles and lots of long grass so the waterproof trousers worked well. As the miles went on we gradually took off the waterproofs and we were very lucky with the weather as we hardly had any rain. It was still windy though especially when we got to the top of a big hill!! The walk was a lot easier than than the last one and with just one long big hill at the end. But - we get to the 100 mile mark - only 80 more miles to go.

We just went slightly wrong at one stage and we needed to slither down a steep bank to the path!

The walk was just under 13 miles and we finished about 2.45 which was good, the flat path at the beginning made for quick going. We had about an hours journey back to the house where Pat, Jacqui, Lin, and I got straight in the hot tub which was fantastic.
We are on dinner duty tonight and it's bangers and mash with bread and butter pudding.
Unfortunately Tim B had to go home today - so we miss you Tim, and I'll miss my early morning tea.
Carol and Phil had a nice day and walked along a bit of the canal, then after picking us up, went off to buy some locally brewed cider :)
Tomorrow promises rain again, but an easy walk to start with along the banks of the river Severn.
