Day 50, Shuthonger Common (Tewkesbury) to Moreton Valence, Tue 25 Aug

Summary
Today’s Distance: ~34.3 km (21.3 miles)
Total Distance: 1210 km (752 miles)
Distance to go: 419 km (260 miles)

Report
I awoke at 5:30 am, washed and packed up everything except the tent and went for breakfast in Witherspoons at 7:00 am. I also got to charge my cell phone. I returned to campsite and was packed and was ready to leave by 8:05 am. I followed the Severn Way all the way to Wainlode Hill where I then took minor roads and paths to Twigworth, where I picked up the A38 to Gloucester.

I had lunch in Debenhams and then headed West to pick up the Canal south to the manually operated rotating road bridge. Then I went by road around Quedgeley and Hardwicke to Moreton Valence. No donations or interesting conversations. A quiet, but longish day at 8.5 hours

  1. Oh dear, we could have set up accommodation for you in Tewkesbury...
    Good to see you are still going strong, Richard. We are away for a while imminently, during which time you should finish your walk, so you have our best wishes for the final couple of weeks.
    Hoping you enjoy that time before returning to reality.
    Martin and Sue
