Managed to do 22 miles today in slightly cooler weather than yesterday by virtue of a following breeze.
I’m walking through an area called the Meseta which goes on for miles and miles and miles. It’s mainly wheat and sunflower fields but the wheat has been harvested so its brown stubble. The sunflowers are yet to be done. The terrain is generally flat but there wa a pretty stiff climb this morning.
A mixed bunch of people at the dinner table last night – two Canadians, a Belgian, an Estonian, two Germans, a South Korean, two unknowns and me.
Today’s photos are a rainbow over an abandoned convent, sun up, the canal near where I’m staying tonight and a long and winding road. I don’t know where the rain was in the rainbow photo but it wasn’t near me.
Tomorrow’s target mileage is shorter as it’s a longer one the next day.

love the canal pic. I also went for a walk today over 4 of the Seven Sisters, across Cuckmere Haven and back through Friston forest. A leisurely 7 miles apart from the many ups and downs.
My ankles are now screaming at me while in a very long soak in the bath. Paul F

Great pics Bob. Were you tempted to dip your toes in the river?

The path looks pretty easy to follow, is it all as clearly marked and laid out like that? Great photos and really good progress each day. In the 20 odd miles a day do you pass though many villages and get the stamps in you log book or is it just done at the end of each day? Keep going, stay safe.

Hi Thelma
The paths and roads are generally well marked but sometimes you have to look for the markings. The number of villages you pass through varies. Today there was a 17km stretch with absolutely nothing – the guide book advised you to take plenty of water. I get my stamp from the hostel every time I check in with the occasional one from a cafe or a church.
Thanks for the encouragement
Bob
