• Day 12 Knighton to Kington

    June 8, 2025 in Wales ⋅ ☀️ 11 °C

    Milestone 200 km today. This has been more challenging than expected. And starting to feel it. The distances are a bit longer than we like; and the ups and owns make it tough on the feet and a bit more tiring. It does not help to be feeling unwell.
    That said, today was one of the more pleasant walking days - lovely views, fewer steep sections, nice variety, nice forests and cool conditions.

    Kington town. Sunday and quiet and we are tired. Retired to the hotel bar but local man swearing so badly we found another room to relax. Last night we had such a fun time in the pub in Knighton - the locals were in high spirits, some joining us at our table and making us feel totally welcome in their pub.
