« Pendine | Ferryside »

After three miles today I wanted to give up. The footpath had been blocked by a thick tangle of brambles and with no way round I had to take a long detour through fields of soaking, long grass.

By the time I reached the road both feet were cold and my right one had taken to make farting noises with every step. I wrung so much water out of my socks that I wondered how there was any room left in my boots for my feet. Not a good start. Why do landowners treat rights of way with such contempt?
