My phone was on thin ice today. It refused to turn on all the way to Worcester as we attempted to follow the Severn Way, before realising that the path had mysteriously switched to the other side of the river, with no bridges for miles, causing us some navigation stress and a hasty reroute into Worcester. When we got to Worcester (which seems like really nice place), I popped into Phones 4 U to sort a replacement, but the model I wanted was out of stock, so I tried my phone again and it miraculously worked. Will it make it to Land's End I wonder before I lose patience with it and put my size 12 boot on it.
The rest of the walk today was pretty simple, follow the river, stay cool, keep drinking and make it to Tewksbury to gain another day. Simple, except that the Severn Way is occasionally blocked by private land which neccessitates big detours and the way is regularly overgrown with thistles and nettles , adding further sting to sunburnt legs.
Eventually we reached Tewkesbury and thus gained a fourth day. This is significant because it now means we only need to stick to the remaining schedule to ensure reaching Land's End on the glorious 12th August. Then back to work the following day!
