Day 2 - Winchcombe to Charlton Kings

Lovely stay in the White Hart. Wonderful food , big bath and comfy bed. What more could one need. After a good breakfast we dropped into the local bakery to get our lunch and set off out of Winchcombe. Weirdly it was more peaceful today than when we arrived yesterday afternoon. I guess these remote Cotswold villages have a big weekend tourist trade and slump during the week.

A bit cooler today, so thanks for the prayers, but fine and clear allowing stunning views along the way.

List of funny events for today:

Kissing gate designed for dwarves, style designed for Giants, and the continual call of the killer pheasant every 1/2 hr that just made us chuckle every time we heard it!! Passed some stunning estate houses, calves in a barn, and amazing views of Cheltenham racecourse. Breathtaking!

Although a little shorter than yesterday, list of injuries grows. Pauls knees really feeling the rough stoney and steep down hill tracks and Rachel's feet pads growing some wonderful blisters. Having said that the day was filled with "laughs" at various physical challenges, "oohs" at the views, "agh's" at the stoney tracks and finally "uummmmm" at Rachel's feet on some ice and Paul knees in the bath.

Off to find dinner and maybe a beer before lights out at 8.30!

Rachel trying to get over a wall with stiff legs - she decided to roll instead!

Paul getting stuck in a kissing gate - even breathing in didn't help!
