Near Buttington Bridge - don't say you've not been warned! |
After the hard graft of the last couple of days it was an easy 13 miles from Brompton X Roads to Buttington near Welshpool today. It was all flat dyke walking except for the last 5 miles where you climb to 1335 feet.
Beacon Ring in the distance |
Worth the climb though because you're rewarded at the top with Beacon Ring - an Iron Age fortification. From there you get views down over Welshpool and, looking north, you can see the Breidden Hills.

Despite the rain last night I struck camp without getting wet and have pitched a new camp, home for the next three nights, at a place called Four Crosses.

Hi Ray
I forgot my password, so I thought I'd posted stuff a couple of times but it didn't register. Hope you haven't been feeling neglected. Sounds as if things are going to plan despite the rain and the ups and downs. Keep on trucking.
Love Alan and Lesley xx
