I have managed to finally tear myself away from Rolls of Monmouth and am now approaching Abergavenny, via Hay ;)

The road to Hay

Where I logged some training and was so absorbed by buying lovely food I didn't turn around to photograph the castle!
I am sure I will be there again before I reach it virtually...

Not happy I've lost a 4 mile walk so might have to try and retrace my walk and put it in manually

@Phal - I am mostly walking (very slowly) and am at 52 miles. For me it was an incentive to dig myself out of a black hole and shuffle along every few days.

Just found myself in the middle of Cannock Chase which looks like another very visitable bit of the country that I'd previously overlooked - if only because it appears to be home to (what I assume to be) a MTB trail with the superb but unlikely name 'Son of Chainslapper'

Just had a look and you're about a mile from the site of Cannock Chase parkrun.

I'm another walker. Not sure how far I'll get but it's getting me out.

57.5 Degrees of Pain
I'm heading to Fetch Towers as fast as I can guys. Zoom call complete, tea being eaten, back out for the final lap soon...

Today's castle is the best known of the northern ones I've visited, Cawdor Castle, once home (in an earlier version) to MacBeth.
