So our group is - Tim S (chief map reader); Carol (chief bus driver); Jackie (photographer on walks) and Tim B; Pat (co. food order-er) and Steve W (kitty keeper); Me - Alison (blogger and co food orderer)and Steve Y (chief accommodation finder); George and Kim L (French speakers when required); Helen (chief porcelain toilet finder) and Walter (Mr. Pieman); Alan (Head chef?); Lyn S (carrier of the ruck sac with everything in it)
Our first stop was just outside Bath for coffee / tea and a
dinner plate sized tea cake. On we went
to Chepstow where Carol dropped us off to find the start of the walk. We had to walk down to the beach to find the
path; well we got down to the sea, but couldn't find the path. We walked along a bit, but decided that we
must have missed it, so turned around and went back to where we had joined the beach, and there was
the path! A good start; but at least it
was dry but that wasn’t to last the rain soon started, so coats went on and we
tramped through quite a bit of mud.
We just walked about 3 miles to get the urban part of the
walk out of the way, and to stretch our legs on the way to Hay-on-Wye.
We got back to the bus and drove onto our rather fabulous
houses in Hay. We’ve got 3 town houses
next to each other, and we have just had fish and chips, so all is well - except this blog has taken ages as the wifi keeps cutting out :(
Alison, please tell my Dad that I have forwarded blog to Alan Shute (so hopefully that is all ok).
