After I updated yesterday’s blog, I walked a further couple of miles, until I could walk no more! I found what I thought was a lovely isolated spot to camp. I waited until 7pm then pitched the tent. No sooner had I done so, than it started raining. As I was climbing inside the tent, a lady walked past with her dogs ( she had the look of a local, rather than a tourist). I then heard the barking of other dogs and raised voices. It turned out that my isolated spot was less than a quarter of a mile away from a farmhouse!

I filled up my water bottles at Whitesands and am now writing this blog in the mist above St Da...
