Supposedly the hardest day, and yes, it was hard but totally ok.
Our notes said it was a day of switchbacks, which to us meant a path that winds back and forth across and up a hill. However, a Wlesh swithback means staight up then down the other side of a steep hill. There were quite a few that I followed Kay up that day.
The rain came in about 1ish as we expected but it was only light. However, the wind was strong. We wore our black raincoats and rain pants with orange plastic ponchos over top, we looked like a couple going to a fancy dress party as mandarims.
Not fancying tenting after a bug day we had booked into a Bnb right on the trail. We were treated like royalty for £48.50 ( Mary was £60).
Newpaper to stuff our wet shoes, a heater to hang our wet weather gear over, hot drinks in front of a fire, shower with nice smelling soaps and shampoo.
There was a hot water cupboard to dry our clothes. We also had a decanter of sherry in our room and a good variety of hot drinks. Our breakfast was superb, 3 courses.
I took the dinner option of salmon, veges and salad. It was fine dining.
There is obviously a huge amount of competition in the bnb market as they all really try hard to impress waiting on us hand and foot. Neither Jay nor I really need so much fuss but this us what one gets here. No complaints.
AWESOME,thank you
Glad to read you are now much happier Karen. Sounds like you’re living a life of luxury compared with previous walks.
Did you try the weetabix, nothing like Weetbix, give it a go 🤣
What happened to day 7? Probably in Wales, strange place that 🤣
