Twitchy ODP Day 13 - Llangattock Lingoed to Monmouth

Wahooooooooo

I made it. 

Quite a few times today, I doubted my physical ability to finish.  I am cooked!  Sadly....

But I did, and as such have bought a ticket for the "last dance". 😎

We waved good bye to the wonderfull people at the Hunters Moon Inn, as the locals were watching the pool match of Rugger between Wales and Australia.  Just a pool match....

ZZzzzzzzzz

 

All up today was 23.2 kilometres, a second day where the distance was less than expected, though not by much - hope that is the case again tomorrow.

What was the day like???

Below average!

Lots and lots of paddocks and lots of wet muddy paddocks too boot!

A couple of small highlights. First one was no rain - two days in a row ( though that changes dramatically tomorrow).  Second, highlight was the White Castle, where we had pre-arranged to meet up with the support crew, primarily in case I had to tap the mat. Would have liked to seen more of the Castle, and I was going OK, so we moved on. 

Next pre arranged meeting was at the little hamlet of Llantilio-Crossenny ( don't blink it or you will miss it ).  Before we met the Wifee's, we bumped into a Bakers dozen of Poms doing the Offa Dyke Path the other way, albeit very slowly. Which made me think, what is the Collective noun for a group of "To and froms" ?

An S bend - of....

???

Back to the walk, Libby joined Bendy and I from 

Llantilio-Crossenny, reducing the support crew to just one soldier - my special Bungee. ❤️

The last highlight of the day, was meeting Bungee at Llanvihangel-Ystern-Llewern ( try saying that with a mouth full of marbles). Somehow she had pulled a rabbit out of a hat and got us some lunch from a random bikie cafe on a Sunday in the Sticks. Tuck shop on the Go Go. 

And from there the three of us plodded through a fair few paddocks. Lots and lots of bloody paddocks, with the odd woodland walk to give us a pinch of variety. One small highlight, insignificant as it may be, was that we cracked the 600 kilometre barrier today ( over the two walks ).  😎

One big day left ( ignoring token ). 

Drugs willing, I will make it.
