Site icon Karen's Damn Long Walk

Day 6 12 June  Kington to Knighton.

About 26km mostly over rolling farmland crossing narrow country lanes.

We started the day in England for the first time for a while. A coffee was only £1.90 compared to £4.50 in Wales. The day ended in Wales.

The last few kms in the day were hard as we tired but I am now  feeling much fitter and happier.

We rush up very steep streets, which is not fair after a long day, to get to the Offas Dyke  Information Centre before 5 to find it rarely opens and when it does it is from 10-4. Stupid times as that is when walkers are out walking.

Lots of ups and downs

We did a bit of food  shopping, followed by a Kebab dinner,  then we put up our tents in a field of sheep on the trail just out of town.

Lots of people oit walking their dogs, passed us with friendly smiles. It seems everyone has a dog, and they take them everywhere they go. They are allowed in the  shops, pubs, and restaurants, boats  bikes, and rarely do we see anyone out without a dog on tow.

Admittedly, they are mostly small, well-behaved doggies. We see few children or signs of them.
