Sich näherndes Hundegebell, begleitet von menschlichem „No! No!“ - die weniger entspannten Wandermomente. (Nix passiert.) #CotswoldWay

Sunday roast (sort of) in Old Sodbury: Einmal Lamb shanks, einmal Steak and Ale Pie. #CotswoldWay

Gelernt: Prinzessinnenzehen brauchen keine Druckstellen für Blasen, nach sechs Wandertagen mit 6-8 Stunden Gehen reicht die Anwesenheit einer Nebenzehe. (Fett sorry, die war schon immer da!) #CotswoldWay

Am Ende der 6. Etappe #CotswoldWay stelle ich im B&B fest, dass sich Kriterien für „gutes Zimmer“ geformt haben: 1) Platz für offenen Koffer (bei täglichem Wechsel wird nicht ausgepackt), 2) Schreibtisch, 3) Aussicht, 4) Badewanne (nicht im Bild). Ordentliches WLAN gibt’s auch <3

Day 6, the final for us, is done and dusted. It was a fabulous adventure and we are already talking about how to do the rest of the #CotswoldWay in the future.

Today was predominantly wooded walking in peaceful old forests. The weather was overcast and humid but the shade and the light breezes made it pleasant.

Das Klo in den Roman Baths wird beschallt mit einem Ausschnitt aus dem "Gladiator"-Soundtrack. Ob Hans Zimmer das weiß? #CotswoldWay #Bath

So. #CotswoldWay #Bath

Meine zwei Reisetermine sind nicht dabei. Uff. Jetzt "nur" noch die Bahn in UK das Flughafenpersonal in Deutschland im Auge behalten. (Es ist kompliziert.) #Streiks #Urlaub #CotswoldWay https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/apr/19/heathrow-security-staff-strikes-may-travel-uk-king-charles-coronation

Fighting the urge to curl up in ball today, post #cotswoldway. Taken myself to the nearer of my local cafes for a bit of coffee powered plotting.
My librarian-turned-PI sits in a bar. Paid, handsomely. her client exonerated. Case closed, walk away. But the film tzar who had her drugged and worse, who pulled the strings because he could? Protected by the system, wealth and power. Everyone a toy, an amusement. And she can't do a damned thing about it.
(and I've no idea either). #amwriting

And with that we're at King's Stanley and the end of our walk. Still another 45 miles to Bath, but were leaving that for another day. #cotswoldway

The Cromwell Stone at Haresfield Beacon. Weather a lot better today, so far reaching views resumed. #cotswoldway

A deeply dismal damp day. Not a lot of stopping so already at Painswick. Pampering ourselves for our last stopover at the Falcon. Tomorrow onto King's Stanley and home. #cotswoldway

This pictute doesn't do it justice. More cliff than slope. Hats off to anyone running down here after 5lb of cheese. #cotswoldway

Steadily raining: preferable to the snow! Cranham Woods first, then on to Cooper's Hill, famous for cheese rolling. #cotswoldway

Safely in the Royal George Birdlip and drying out. Nice walk if chilly. Dinner in the restaurant and an early night beckon. #cotswoldway

Charlton Kings Common, just a little way from the Devil's Chimney. We're imagining the far reaching views. #cotswoldway

Belas Knap. 5.500 years old. You can go inside, which feels odd to say the least. #cotswoldway

Time to break out the thermals... #cotswoldway
