Day 6 - Tormarton to Bath

The final stage of this amazing journey began from the Compass Inn at Tormarton by walking through the village itself then heading south over the M4 and onto the fields above Hinton. We made good use of this time to discuss life things as we looked over toward Pucklechurch in the distance.

It was quite a weird feeling being so close to home but so far away from our journey end. We continued on past Dyrham House and up through the wood before reaching Cold Ashton. This is an odd village with some impressive mansions in the centre with smaller cottages in the process of conversion around them.
We then heading down a very steep hill before rising again on the other side towards the Monument marking the famous Battle of Lansdown in 1643. It was a mile back from here we were surprised to bump into friends Martin and Jacki out walking their dog Fuggles. So good to see you and thank you for your encouragement.

They said goodbye as they had parked at Lansdown and we were heading on into Bath. We continued our walk towards the race course and bumped into other people from Pucklechurch out walking their dogs. We then were met by the Cally's just before Prospect style where we were able to see views right over Bath to the white Horse at Devizes one way and Bristol the other. 

Mal, Chriscelle and Seannah then walked with us for the last 8 miles into Bath.Thank you so much for keeping us going and for being there at the finish line! Great to catch up with you.

It was with great pleasure to walk with them on this last stage sharing stories and enjoying the different views of Bath ans we came into Weston and eventually the busy streets of Bath Centre.

We arrived at Bath Abbey around 5.15pm with great joy, relief and sense of achievement. Thank you so much to everyone who has supported us in spirit, in humour, in encouragement, in donations and to get us over the line. Its been an amazing experience and we certainly could not have done it without all your help. See you in 2018....
