Elementary my dear Watson...

Hi all.  On Sunday I passed the 300 mile mark - wahay!  I've actually covered 304 miles which is my personal best for a single walk.  On the way I also beat my longest ridge walk at 10 miles - the views over the Brecons are just out of this world.

Ridge walk on the Brecons

From Pandy to Hay-On-Wye was 17.5 miles rather than my usual 16 of late, a change is as good as a rest and I've no time to rest.

Hound of the Baskervilles - (Grandchild friendly version)

Home for tonight is Baskerville Hall - yes the real venue for the Hound of the Baskervilles story (Click here to read a free copy). Apparently Sir ACD was a friend of the family and at their request set the story in Devon to prevent their being over run by tourists.

Will update tomorrow - if I make it through the night ;-)

Guess how far I walked today?

16 Miles,  from Monmouth to Pandy on Saturday!  That distance is becoming something of  a habit.

It has been a big mix of a day today, hot, sunny and windy.  Although unlike a few weeks ago the wind actually helped today.

River Honddu - Pandy

Very interesting walk in terms of terrain today - forest walk, river walks and very hilly countryside walks.  There has not been any rain here since March so the footpaths are really hard and uneven.

Home for the night

Staying at a Bed & Breakfast tonight - what a welcome!  Tea and cakes on arrival - lovely.  The place is called the Old Rectory at Llangattock Lingoed.  The whole place was wonderful, even the old church supplies tea and cakes for visitors for a small donation.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow as I head up the mountains.
