A brilliant walk, and I was blessed by extremely good weather. I stayed at pubs/hotels on the Way itself and it was very easy to organise this. Leave time to visit the sites – Broadway Tower, Hailes Abbey, numerous Iron Age Forts, Painswick, and of course Bath.
There are some really serious climbs on the middle sections (and I mean serious) but overall the walk is straightforward. I did 20/25 miles a day, which was too onerous, even with beer, food and a bed at the end of each day! If I did it again, I’d try to average 15.
Overall, I have been blessed by wonderful views, and have seen places I would never have got to if just be in ga tourist in a car. A great way to spend 6 days and a real sense of achievement.
