Highlights - I can’t believe this is my 20th day walking without a rest. my body still feels really strong which is great and having stunning coastal views plus good weather makes for a good day. Plus no cows !!
My accommodation was amazing I had a massive room to myself, a glorious shower and an incredible bed for the night.
Challenges - I always feel a bit flat the day after I’ve been walking with someone and then I’m by myself again. I think it take to get a bit of getting used to.
My accommodation was at the top of a very steep hill which is the last thing you want to climb after 20 miles!
