Our B&B for the night had been an interesting place, with walls completely covered with pictures of 60's rock stars, I half expected the owner to be playing Hendrix as we departed this morning. He was a nice chap and we said goodbye and headed off down the same two miles of road that we had already walked twice yesterday.
We were soon back onto the Cotswold Way, which was very hard going, but a nice change from the holiday home populated banks of the Severn Way. As we stopped at one of the many hilltop monuments that the Cotswold Way takes you up, we were ambushed by an over friendly horse that took a close interest in our rucksacks and nearly made off with Tim's socks hanging from the back of his rucksack!
Having survived the horse attack, our final days destination was a choice of either Little Sodbury, Chipping Sodbury or Old Sodbury. The choice was made for us as we could only get accommodation in Chipping Sodbury, or Sodding Chipbury as the locals call it. Jokes aside, The Bell turned out to be a great place to stay and the Cotswold Way hasn't been half as bad as I was expecting.

Tim had to fend off the affections if this horse, which nearly made off with his socks!
