Hay-on-wye to Kington
Hay-on-Wye was brilliant. It was so good I've had to repeat it here. Quirky and full of community spirit.
Nothing much to see today as it was really grey and drizzly. If you're thinking of walking Offa's Dyke I would recommend you get a good map for this section as a few of the field crossings might have you doubling back on yourself otherwise.
Towards kington the going is an easy gradient heading down for about 1.5 miles. You'll find yourself in Kington with various bars and B&B's so you can get a good night's sleep and a very decent meal. I stayed at The Benchmark B&B which has one twin room and one single room. It's a quirky little building full of character and the owners are super nice who also have a lot of time for the planet. I loved how dedicated they are to the organic life. A really homely home from home.
Tomorrow is the final push to Knighton and the weather is looking nasty! Fingers crossed the weather reports are wrong but I doubt it. Never mind, I'm already celebrating going from broken back to hiking 80 miles within 6 months of each event.
