| A jigsaw puzzle has kept Phil amused all week - Pat and I are helping with the final few pieces! |
The final day has arrived and we had a walk of about 14.5 miles to do without much climbing or descending of hills. The weather was fine and warm, but overcast. We set off from Much Wenlock at about 8.30 and by 9.28 had done the first 3 miles, so the going was good, the next 3 miles were just as quick. We had coffee then, hiding in a wood as it looked like rain (it didn't!). From there we got 10 miles done by about 12 noon; we decided not to stop then as it was only 12 and to keep going a bit. Just as well really as that was when we had our first real hill and we didn't want that just after lunch. The hill was a muddy path up quite steep, but not too long fortunately; and it was as well it wasn't raining otherwise it would have been extremely slippery. Lunch followed in a field with the sheep, then off we went again with no real navigational issues other than the farmer hadn't put a path across a field, so had to walk quite a long way round it.

We met up with Phil and Carol about a mile from the end and walked back to the railway yard at Bridgenorth. So nothing terribly exciting happened today, other than we finished the walk - yey! It was supposed to be a 106 mile round walk, but actually turned out to be about 118 miles.

| More lovely horses! |

| Lots of men playing trains - sorry - railway enthusiasts here. |

| The End! |
Tonight is fish and chips from the local chippy, with cheese, biscuits, and port to follow. Carol and Phil bought some nice cheese at the local foody shop near Ludlow. Great fun tonight with award ceremony, and lots of laughter!
So packing up now and heading home tomorrow. Got to discuss next year’s adventure as well!
Thanks everyone for reading this.
