A heavy overnight dew, rain sodden high grass and plants made for a wet walk for the first hours.
After all the mud under the tree's yesterday, I changed to the Wye Valley Way for the walk to Monmouth. The Offa's Dyke went high and in tree's most of the way to Monmouth.
A bit of road walking was followed by walking on an old railway track, which was preferable to long wet plants.
I stopped for my 1st break at a locked cabin which had a picnic table to sit at. This was most welcome as my back was really aching.
After a wet walk for the final miles into Monmouth, I decided that was enough walking for one day.
I didn't relish the next 20 miles of walking through farmland before the Hatterall Ridge. After a wander round a very pleasant Monmouth and lunch by the river. I decided to bus to Abergavenny, then on to Glangwyrny and walk the 2 miles along the valley to my favourite campsite in the UK at Llangenny.
As I arrived in Abergavenny the sun came out. I really like this area and could live here if it wasn't for family in Dorset.
It was lovely to arrive in Llangenny and to see people I know from previous visits.
A visit to the pub to charge my phone was followed by an early night
