May The Fourth Be With You

14 Miles from Kington to Knighton today - again a bit tough but the calves are feeling a bit better, so what the heck!

I started the day with a climb of 1,200 feet to be met on the top of Bradnor Hill by a golf club.  Turns out it is the highest one in England and they welcome walkers to use their facilities.
Fore!  Don't worry, I stayed off their greens.

The rest of the day hardly drops below 1,000 feet, mostly across a dyke that was built in 757 AD.  Again fabulous views, quite literally birds eye views at that height.

I hit some high spots today - this is looking back to Hergest Ridge

The day ended in a similar way to the way it started - by walking through another golf course.  This one is practically subterranean at only 1,00 feet above sea level.

BIG, BIG day tomorrow so come back for an update soon.
