It was a day of mixed feelings finishing the walk as we were becoming more accustomed to walking for 5/6 hours a day, more if lost! Also there is always something new to see when you are walking, whether it is the countryside people or the villages we passed through.
I think the main thing we learnt is to carry the minimum with us and also a map and compass and not rely totally on technology!. Of course I had read this before leaving but the lesson is learnt by making those mistakes and learning from them.
Bella ( the dog ) thoroughly enjoyed her walk and as usual was well behaved meeting all manner of people and other dogs. We rarely put her on a lead, busy roads/streets being the exception.
We plan to do other walks in the future, it surely is one of the finer things to do in life.
