A walk too far.

6.05.08

A very good nights sleep in a bed ! A good breakfast and off feeling better than yesterday. Picked the Cotswold Way in Hillesley passed a very large monument to Lord General Somerset (whoever he was) they do like their monuments in this part of the world.

Path at one point passes through a sea of Oilseed Rape in full flower (?future diesel fuel) and more beech woods with wild garlic in bloom. Some good views off the Cotswold escarpment , with clear blue skies and a perfect walking temperature, unfortunately not up to rapid yomping yet, but improving.

Really kept on walking too far today ending on a hill overnight, overlooking Bath, 25 miles walked today is too far. Right shin is on fire.
