Eric?! No!!!

Last night’s B&B was lovely, but we were not alone. I made the mistake of naming one of the spiders Eric, with the result that every twitch, scratch or funny sound was greeted by “Is that Eric?!” as Roo got more and more anxious. Eventually I “found” him and put him outside and we slept on.

Today is a recovery day, after clocking up 10 miles or so yesterday. We had just over 3 miles to cover to get to tonight’s campsite (which has a washing machine!!!) and we took it slow. The air was cool but not cold, the clouds were high, the birds were singing and the cars were still zooming past on the road that was still right next to the path! We had second breakfast looking at this view:

You can see the Vallum - defensive ditch - next to the dead tree. There were fewer stiles, but still some. We avoided them where possible!

We got to the campsite in time to wash, clean and then eat greasy takeaway in the laundry room. It’s a five star lifestyle for us!
