| A long barrow. |
After a night in a somewhat bigger tent than usual - Austin has one of those huge things with multiple 'sleeping pods' - I head back out of Cheltenham, at least on the way back I know to avoid the closed footpaths. Still a long day though, another twenty mile plus walk, and of course there are more hills. Better weather today at least, and again great views, of Cheltenham and its racecourse, and into the distance the Malverns are visible. The route circles around Cleeve Hill where there is a trig point and yet another topograph, then a little further a well preserved looking long barrow. From here it is not far to the little town of Winchcombe, a pretty place with many half-timbered houses, still a couple of miles to the campsite but it has gone six o'clock and I need a beer. A couple in fact, after which I do make it to camp, thankfully pretty much on the route and a bargain at a mere eight pounds for the night. More money saving ensues as for the second night of the trip I tuck into some 'home cooked' couscous...
