Today we woke up, sorry to leave our luxurious hotel, but nevertheless leave it we did and set out into the frozen welsh outdoors. And it was cold this morning and we were glad for those thermals we packed. Cold in Wales this morning, but thankfully not in England, for our boiler back home broke! Hopefully it's fixed now but it did mean that we lost Hamish for the first good 30 mins. But, on the plus side we did see some disused railway track, cartridges and signal box just outside of Tintern. We traveled today from Tintern to Symonds yat. We walked from Tintern to Monmouth for about 7 hours covering a distance of about 17 km. (We had to get a taxi to Symonds yat due to the fast approaching evening). So not much today, a lot of walking but not much else, we are now settling down in a 4 star hotel, the royal hotel. But we did manage to have a ferocious game of yes, no, black and white. Argh, I lost! I probably won't blog again until evening and by that time you lot will probably be trick or treating so I will say this now, Happy Halloween!
See you guys soon!

A frosty morning in Wales
Searching for the fish, the marker for the wye valley walk
Almost at the top! A very steep hill
Going down now!
A disused railway bridge
A pleasant view from the top
It sounds like a very, very fill day.
ReplyDeleteI like your photos Oscar. They really illustrate your walk!
