| 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.
