Day 16 Llangattock to Monmouth

Starting to get tired now
Two more walking days left
Despite the rain and mud it was okay. Highlight was dropping in for a chance coffee at a place just past White Castle near Llanvetherine. Charming man gave us coffee and Welsh cakes and a tour of his barn which has been converted into a performance space. His wife was an opera singer and they out on performances there. Then we started taking about cricket. We dragged ourselves away into the rain and mud.
Monmouth is where we are and where King Henry 5 and Mr Rolls (Rolls-Royce) were born. A medieval bridge over the Wye River. Birthday dinner at an Italian restaurant was perfect.
Tomorrow I think we will take the low road river side option instead of over the hills. Done those.
Tired now!
