I walked the trail either alone or accompanied by my labrador dog, Roly, immediately after the heavy snows which hit the country. Whilst my wife, Maureen explored the area I used either public transport or car lifts to complete the walk. We stayed at dog friendly cottages at Winchcombe (Week 1, Mill House Cottage) and Hinton (Week 2, Campbell Cottage). As the bad weather delayed our arrival in the area until late on March 5th, I did well to complete the route really as I only walked on 10 of the 11 days available to me. This was because I also went to see my football team, Notts County play at both Forest Green Rovers (Nailsworth) on 10/3/18 & the re-arranged game at Cheltenham Town on 6/3/18. I want to take this opportunity to praise both Marchants Coaches (Cheltenham) and Stagecoach Buses for their excellent bus services along the route.
