4 weeks to go. We had been warned that this section was muddy, but nothing could prepare us for this! Walking 4 miles from Norton St Phillip to Wellow took us over 2 hours! At one point my boots were being pulled off my feet by the weight of the mud stuck to them. We found ourselves clambering up banks and into the woods to avoid wading ankle deep in pools of mud along the tracks, and at other times clinging to the branches of the shrubs alongside the tracks to try to swing from one lesser muddy tussock of grass to the next. At this rate our 26 mile walk will take 13 hours, without any loo breaks, and worse, without any FOOD breaks.
However, we stopped for food on this walk at our favourite place to date: the Fox and Badger at Wellow. They weren't at all phased by the sight of our extremely muddy boots and clothes and the fish finger sandwich was a gastronomic delight!
So who needs to go to Turkey for a mud bath when you can go down the road to Wellow for a similar experience?
This is me either in Wellow or Dalamar, I can't tell them apart!
