A Land's End to John O'Groats Charity Walk

 
 

Our final day staying with Nat and Parf. These past few days have passed by so quickly, back to big backpacks tomorrow.

Had a fantastic day of walking today. A steep climb to begin with to the mountain ridge and then we walked along the ridge for ~10 miles before climbing back down through fields and into Hay-on-Wye town centre. We had spectacular views all day long and the weather was perfect - a few spots of rain only and cool with a cool wind. Fresh.

Am going to miss the luxury of a comfy bed tomorrow night but our adventure takes us north-east away from Wales. We've walked 53 miles in the past 3 days - I can't thank Nat and Parf enough for their help, hospitality and company!

I'm really excited about getting on the road again tomorrow - looking at the map of Britain, we really are doing well. We've come so far already!

Carlie.

Wow, that really is a big hike, 53 miles in 3 days! Hey, let me wish you all the best, and be sure to keep us posted on your progress. I've personally always wanted to do backpacking up there, I'm from Australia. Thanks again Carlie!
