As keen hikers at the best of times, the three of us decided to take on our first long-distance walk. We’d been saying for several years how we’d like to walk the entire Cotswold Way in one go, and so to round off the summer of 2019, we finally did it.
We completed the full 102 miles over 6 days, from Bath to Chipping Campden, camping on the first three nights and staying in one of our houses (conveniently close to the trail) for the last two. Due to the extra weight of our big packs for the first four days, there was inevitably some pain along the way, largely in the form of blisters and hip strain, however we persevered and completed this beautiful walk within our 6 day goal. Accompanied by perfect weather and countless friendly encounters with fellow hikers and locals along the way, walking the Cotswold Way was an experience that we will never forget, and we can’t wait to take on our next national trail.
