When we first booked this vacation, we were really excited. When we were in England in 2006, we found a book on footpaths and followed a couple of the walks. We were immediately hooked. It was like our own little scavenger hunt through the fields of England. Now comes the real test. A full day of hiking (10.8 miles) through the English countryside. It was tough, but we had a great time.
The beginning of the trail was pretty flat. It was a good way to start out. The hills were never very big but we did get some great views.
We also met some friends along the way. We were given a bit of a warning that if calves were in the field we shouldn’t try to get close. These ones were friendly but behind a fence.
It was a great day, but toward the end of the hike I was beat. The aches and pains of 45 years were enhanced by 10 miles of walking. We decided we were definitely carrying less with us for our next hike. Back pack was just too heavy.
We hit our next B&B around 6pm and propped up our tired feet. Then we got our dinner – yum!
