A nice field to camp in. Though I think they need to do some ragwort pulling... and the pothole is making me feel right at home.

That's very... rugged Grast_girl!

How far does the dragon move every day? I think I'm getting further behind?

I don't know RooA, it's Miss Grace's Lane Cave, so could be quite swish.

On page 2 they said 3.3 miles per day if you started on 2nd April. I've been aiming for more like 3.8 to allow a couple of days off, which I took all in one go last week. Just catching up again now.

Haha. A proper posh cave. :-) I wonder if it has wall-hangings.

I'd worked out last week I need approx3.5 miles a say to catch up at the very end. Then yesterday I worked out approx 3.6. So I've lost ground. I'm hoping I can gradually step it up a bit.

I don't think Darwin moves that much... I caught up with him and even though I have done very little the last few days, I am still ahead... I average about 4 kms a day, if that, between walking and run/walking.

Pleasant looking little road on the edge of Abergavenny. I’m not camping though, it’s close enough to home that I can get picked up & dropped back off to start again tomorrow.

Another 17 miles 'til I reach Ludlow. Veered to my left and thought I might visit Wall House. Looks inviting.
