I have just discovered something worse than a wet phone, a wet sleeping bag. It has been sat in the bottom of my rucksack for two days unnoticed and now that I need to use it, it is damp and not likely to dry very quickly. The thing has been rubbish from day one as it has been leaking duck feathers into my tent at an alarming rate, but it has at least been warm and comfortable, when dry.
Today's walk turned out to be a nice one, the first ten miles were on quiet country lanes, before we picked up the Severn Way, following the banks of the river Severn, with the Severn Valley steam railway to our left. We followed this to Bewdley, which felt like a seaside town, then continued along the river passing lots of holiday homes on the river front, some immaculately maintained, some in total disrepair. Our final destination was one of the many campsites along the way, making a convenient stopping point, well ahead of our planned stop.
A quick addition of our mileage shows that we have covered around 785 Miles, averaging 23 Miles a day. That puts us 75% of the way to Land's End.
