Notes: I am taking the day off walking. Just going to spend it relaxing in Calais. I haven’t had a shower in 3 days so I’m renting a hotel and I get to sleep in a good bed tonight.
Somebody needs to think about this stuff...

Notes: I am a travelling troubadour. It is surprising how much guitar playing you can get done when just strumming and walking. It’s a lot of fun. Even with the weird looks from passersby.
The Cotswolds are beautiful. I can understand why Dad has fallen in love with them.

Notes: Little village on the edge of the Forest of Dean. Got to look around Swan house. This is one of those peaceful, idylic places you read about in history books. Sleeping in the tent tonight.

Another 16 miles down. 32 miles completed so far.
Got to look around the castle before it closed up for the evening. I think I was the only person in there today.
The bridge across the Wye is just fantastic. I need to come back to this town and explore the area some more.
Tomorrow I cross the Wye which puts me in Forest of Dean.
Got an hour of karate practice in.
Reading for an hour then turning in for the night. Hoping to get an early start tomorrow so that I can spend an hour in the town before heading out.
