Braved torrential rain and got to, and slightly past, Ludlow castle. Another badge for the collection ☺️

I went through Hay Castle halfway through my run this morning, so I'm a third of the way to Fetch Towers :-) .

I've been to Hay only once, when I went through it after cycling down from Hay Bluff (brilliant descent :-) ) on my way to Kingston, near the Welsh border. I had a short ride around Hay before leaving on the B4350, although I stopped off at the Co-Op on the edge of town. I had to cross the River Wye to continue.

On the way home from Kingston, I crossed the Wye via the same toll bridge as going. Going out I wasn't charged, but on the return I was!

In the CC, I am now on the same road, B4352, that I used in the early part of my cycle ride back to Cambridge. I remember it well because it was raining heavily and the road was covered in red water with the run-off from the fields.

Where I am stopped for a couple of days now, I don't remember Chris Armstrong https://www.google.com/maps/@52.1012137,-3.0257733,3a,75y,157.73h,81.49t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1siiVcUiCXCTwDth-xvBnq-A!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 who appears to been having a rest.

I hope he is friendly and lets me in out of the rain.

Some way behind Darwin, I finally made it past Chepstow thus morning.


I think there’s a church behind the gate, but they don’t want me stopping to find out.

Wombling Plodder (Welsh Womble)
I have not moved very far in the past week due to migraines. Today I had a little shuffle and bagged myself a roundabout for the night 😂
