Tewkesbury - a very pretty market town with enough history to keep you amused for an afternoon. It also has a very industrial looking footpath which was a bit odd.

Today just clicked. The south Cotswolds is beautiful. I kept my phone in my pocket so you'll have to take my word for it. Walking in the sun without nettles was a delight.

It started well (except for another electric fence) but the last six miles were generally housing and industrial estates. Hot pavement, loud music in passing cars, lads on electric bikes wearing faceもっと詳しく

I made a detour to pass through Marlborough, purely because I liked the name. It was Range Rovers, Waitrose and jodhpurs. I won't be rushing back.
The highlight of the day was the walk from Swindonもっと詳しく

I set off before sunrise to make some ground before the rain arrived. Unfortunately it hit around 6am. I was walking on a busy A road with heavy traffic and I was having to jump on to the little vergeもっと詳しく

The reality of walking...I booked into a Days Inn last night to avoid another Storm Betty soaking. What I didn't realise was that there are two in the area, seven miles apart. I booked in to one andもっと詳しく

As a foot passenger, I couldn't book a cabin on the ferry so sleep alternated between a reclining chair and the floor. In spite of that, I loved the ferry. It was great to be able to wander aroundもっと詳しく

I've spent the whole day walking on the Canal d'Ille-et-Rance. It was so hot I took a lie down after lunch in a picnic area. I soon dozed off only to wake up to the sound of my own snoring. Luckilyもっと詳しく
I met my first pilgrim!

I was walking along the towpath this morning and there was a guy coming towards me wearing a scallop shell on the chest strap of his rucksack. 'Peregrino?' I asked. He ignored that I'd just spokenもっと詳しく
Rennes

So I made it to my first French city. The route I am following doesn't go through the centre (and I was told I wasn't missing much) but it does pass quite a few high-rise buildings. The main photo isもっと詳しく
A day of firsts

Most of today was walking along the beautiful river valley of La Vilaine.
It was also a day of firsts....
I saw my first ever live snake in the wild (it was small and dark brown an hid itself awayもっと詳しく
The day ended well

Oh dear! It's my own fault. I should have thought this through. I wake up and it's freezing cold. I had gained quite a bit of height since leaving the river and higher means colder. I found a place toもっと詳しく
Au revoir La Vilaine
2023年8月26日, フランス ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C
So after two days or so I have to say goodbye to the imposing majesty of La Vilaine. This river has a view at every bend. It is beautiful and it is massive. You can sense the force of the volume ofもっと詳しく

I was shattered yesterday. I had walked 46 miles in two days with an 10 or 12kg pack and I just needed a rest.

I'm in Clisson but I've only seen the campsite and the supermarket so I'll take photos tomorrow.

It was 3am when the rain woke me up. I didn't make a shelter the previous night as it was a beautiful evening and the forecast was good. I pulled the bivvy up to cover my face. Claustrophobic but dry.もっと詳しく
