Clear skies and windy start to day. Once we were up on the ridge the wind was very strong. Though the skies were clear and the views spectacular. Ann walked to the east of the path in Wales and I walked on the west in England. The wind kept blowing Ann back into England. An omen perhaps? The views renamed for all of the ridge. Almost a 360 degree panorama, when we got to the highest point on the whole Offa's Dyke Path we had the complete view. Over Hay Bluff we could see Hay on Wye 5 miles away and way down, a descent of about 600 metres. Hay was busy, it is Bank Holiday. It felt like being back in civilisation after our last three nights which have been miles from anywhere and very isolated. We now have WiFi and mobile reception.
Meal is booked downstairs, The Old Black Lion, apparently famous - for what we will endeavour to find out. Tomorrow we head to Kington, along Hergest Ridge, which some of you of a certain age may think sounds familiar. Weather sounds promising for tomorrow, which we need as it will be our longest day yet.
