Weather today: Drizzle for most of day but mild
Daily Miles Covered: 14.0
Total Miles Covered: 367.3
Things of Interest: Kinver Edge, some llamas and the smell of rapeseed
Personal Comments: Left Upper Arley minus our promised breakfast of a 'full English' - the landlord in the village pub forgot that he'd offered this to us last night! - the place was shut and in total darkness at 8.00am breakfast time - surely he hadn't drunk too much last night and failed to wake up especially for us this morning?
We waved goodbye to the 'magnificent Severn' and headed north east through Shatterford (I think I should live there!!) to pick up the 'Worcester Way'.
Heading over Kinver Edge, we crossed the border into Staffordshire and joined the 'Staffordshire Way'. This long distance path proved very attractive passing through the rolling hills of South Staffs.
We finished the day in a village called Seisdon where Ross had organised an overnight stay in the local pub car park with an opportunity to rattle our charity tin in front of the locals tonight.
I've just hung out my wet clothes on a washing line attached to the van and a bush in the pub car park - it looks like the gypsies have invaded! - nice to give the locals something to talk about!
I'm off to wipe the mud off my boots now.
Finally, thanks to James from Bewdley and Bob Jones from West Bromwich for their donations.
