My Teva sandals purchase meant I could trust the feet to the walk again a day earlier than we thought we’d be able to. We shortened an already short day by getting a lift a little way along the route. We thought it might be better not to go hard straight off if we want this strategy to succeed for 5 more days. It was perfect terrain for a recovery day too as we walked along a river and the Montgomery Canal to the town of Llanymynech – all flat and scenic. All went well so I’m keen to see how it all goes as we go back to the hills tomorrow.
Luckily it was also a beautiful dry and bright day too.

- Hard to see this but it is a aquaduct on hte Montgomery Canal. This was the biggest hurdle in creating this canal and collapsed while it was being constructed before they were eventually successful. NOw of course it has been in place for nearly 360 years
